Just saw something that I have never seen, an umpire just had a fan ejected from a game....from what I can determine the fan was just heckling the umpire.
I was under the wrong impression that an umpires authority stop at the fence...guess the ump has some pretty big rabbit ears...the guy looked like he was in the 10th or so row

With great power comes great responsibility
I did not see the entire game and only saw a highlight clip of some of the ball / strike / ejections, but Bob was doing a great job. Good for him. If I were a batter that did not swing at an inside strike - clearly a strike - and cried like a baby at the ump calling me out - I guess I'd have a temper tantrum as well. You go Bob!
