better get off that keyboard and over to the Maddon ejection. Might get a longer video than normal right below. Nice closer view of the pole and ball towards the end rather than the beginning.

What was all the fuss about?   They review it, and that's that.   Get off the field, Joe.

Fans come to see ejections, performed at times in the past by a Hall of Famer, the honorable Doug Harvey mentioned above, as one of the great historical reasons and pleasures of going to go see a baseball game, along with the peanuts, and crackerjacks.

A regular guy/joe/manager gets to go chew somebody out for a perceived/or real injustice, get it off his chest, get the day off work, and come back the next day like nothing happened.

Fans get to enjoy the histrionics, simple/or demonstrative employed, and scream at the evil Darth Vader/Lord Voldemort/umpire taking advantage of/bullying the beloved team while their Luke Skywalker/Harry Potter Manager defends them from the evil Darth Vader/Lord Voldemort/umpire.

More and more IR=fewer and fewer ejections.

More and more IR=fewer and fewer fans who get to see one of life's simple pleasures called an ejection, while attending the National Pastime .
