First overturned MLB Manager ejection ever!?
Photo credit: Miami Herald
During an MLB game between the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox, a fan decided tand bench manager began to heckle and yell at home plate umpire Ben May for missing balls and strikes. Coincidentally, the umpire mistakenly confused the fan and other manager ended up throwing out Skip Schumaker instead.
Umpire has no idea who he ejected, a breakdown
Marlins Manager Skip Schumakar had done quite a bit of talking and chirping towards Ben May, but when he was wrongly ejected, the umpires made the effort to overturn and make the right call.
The funniest part of the matter is that bench coach Luis Urueta was the one screaming too and he was discovered as the main culprit and was tossed instead.
This comes after a similar situation, where just weeks prior, Aaron Boone, the manager of the New York Yankees was wrongly ejected after a fan behind home plate was badgering the umpire. This time, Boone didn't get the call overturned.
