I can visually see these Ejections in my head.

  1. Are we not gonna talk about the one directly above that, where youppi was ejected for being a mascot years earlier?

    Racism against mascots was accepted in the 80s??

  2. >two visits to the mound at the same at bat

    This one was the ump just being a dick. There was a mound visit, the pitching coach (Flannigan, RIP) stepped off the mound for a second and then back again to say one more thing and they called that two mound visits and ejected the manager (Miller). I don’t remember Benitez getting also ejected, but I’m not going to argue with the chart.

  3. Aaron Boone got tossed because a fan yelled something. I think the stupid umpire realized it too but his ego was too big to tank it back.

  4. If the Tigers aren’t regularly using Ink Spot Erasmus as a mascot they are doing it wrong

  5. My favorite ejection- “On July 26, [Adrián] Beltré was ejected by umpire Gerry Davis; in a game against the Miami Marlins, Davis asked Beltré, who was the next scheduled batter, to move closer to the on-deck circle. Beltré responded by picking up the edge of the logo that marked the on-deck circle and moving it closer to where he had been standing…”

  6. Angels gonna Angel: “Phil Nevin – Warmup pitches.” What on earth did he do?! (#7)

  7. That Kyle Freeland ejection was a weird one this year. He took exception when Devers stood at home plate admiring a first inning home run like it was Game 7 of the World Series, and then Adames and Chapman bum rushed him, shoving him in the back.

  8. You can feel the old-school umps writing these up like police reports while absolutely seething.

  9. The Cubs organ player was once ejected by the umpires after they played the song ‘Three Blind Mice’ after a bad call. That’s my favorite I know of.

  10. On a called strike: “where was that at?”

    Umpire: “you shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition”

    “where was that at, asshole”

    “You’re outta here!”
