The highlight for me was the Toronto manager being thrown out of the game early for contesting a call at first base.
This former umpire threw a manager or two out; and more than a few players. A fellow ump, a friend of mine, kidded me one day about my infield moves.
"You're always throwing guys out of games." He laughed. He called me "The Turfer".
But not once did I ever abuse such great powers. (And I knew that National League rule book like the back of my hand, even if some did not like my "interpretation" of it at times.)
