8 days? Is this the shortest time between MLB debut and 1st career ejection?

Bill Klem, 2nd day 4-15, on the job in 1905. Made it through the first day like a charm.

4 ejections at 2nd base in the second day. He was working 1 man both days.

Probably others over the years, and even more recent, but that is a big database to comb through.

But, Ceja did tie with the famous superstar two professional sport hoops official Jake O'Donnel who got Ken Harrelson on balls and strikes in his 8th game in 68. O'Donnel did not get Weaver till the next year.

More recent times, Gary Darling in his 6th game.

Rick Reed. 1st game. HP.  Balk call. John Shulock. 1st game. HP. Helmet throw.

Also in 1907, Boston Doves pitcher (and former postal carrier) Vive Lindaman, working his first game as a field umpire, ejected Superbas shortstop Phil Lewis after "a long wrangle" in the top of the 13th of the Superbas-Doves game (the second of a double-header). The Superbas eventually beat the Doves 4-3 (and swept the series). Lindaman never umpired again. Final career ejection rate: One per game.

Great one there.

Looks like Will Little that I just found for the younger current pups, in his 4th game, which was the plate, got Machado. He should get a prize for that one.

I like your one and done version the best.
