Talk about disrespectful. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a participant on the field or in the dugout, you’re not above the long arm of the law. Hit the showers, bub. I guess this organist thought he could just play a children’s song and get away with it. Well, think again buddy. Turn the instrument off and kill the music. It really was a textbook ejection even though he had to point up to the press box, but he gave it a decisive “UR DONE!”
Good on the umpire for holding him accountable. This was clearly a targeted attack on the ump’s vision and definitely not a harmless nursery rhyme in between batters. That kind of reckless aggression on the keys has no place in the game and I’m glad he got tossed.
This is all made better because you can hear everything over the roar of the dozens in attendance. This must’ve been confusing in the moment, because the ump had to explain himself to several booing fans. “Guy played ‘Three Blind Mice’, turn the sound off for the rest of the night!” No other way to put it, just a stunning display of power.
It’s comforting to know that the Ump Show is alive and well. I’m not sure what league or level of baseball this is, but this ump is going places and needs to be considered for promotion.
