Crowd OWNED by umpire
:lol: :zowned:
Associated Press WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa - An umpire emptied the stands at a high school baseball game, ejecting the entire crowd of more than 100 fans for being unruly. Umpire Don Briggs said he had no problem with any of the student athletes during Thursday's game between Winfield-Mount Union and West Burlington. He said he had to take action because fans were being unruly, yelling and arguing. However, West Burlington Superintendent James Sleister said he didn't see any unusual behavior and said he thought the umpire overreacted. The game resumed after a 40-minute delay. West Burlington won 12-11. The umpire called police as a precaution. West Burlington police officer Al Waterman says there were no arrests. |
I wonder how exactly, he managed to get the crowd out...1 man versus 100?

He obviously suspended the game until they were all out. Officials have the power to do that. I ref'd high school wrestling in college.

The crowd got to stay, the ump got overruled by the superintendent.
