And then [email protected] (Kit Cosper) quoth:
=>A comment made by one of the Braves announcers, attributed to
=>an anonymous player after Friday night's game,
=>
=> "I'm sorry we didn't tie it up, I wanted to see some more
=> umpiring."
=>
=>Just about sums it up.............
Sure, like Ron Gant wasn't completely out of line.
If I were Hirschbeck, I would have ejected, in order, Ron Gant, every single
last Brave who came onto the field, and possibly Bobby Cox, depending on the
language he used. Since Cox was the only Brave rung up, I suspect I would
have thrown him out too.
You simply cannot show up an umpire like Ron Gant did. It is disrespectful
of not only the home plate umpire, but of the dignity of the game.
