Major League Baseball games played Friday, June 15, 2007: Despite a full slate of 15 games played, there was only a single ejection of any players, coaches, or managers in Major League Baseball yesterday. As I first detailed last night in the post immediately below, home plate umpire Tony Randazzo transformed Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz into a designated sitter for the final 47 outs of the game against the San Francisco Giants after Ortiz expressed his dissatisfaction with a called strike three by throwing down his bat and batting helmet on the way back to the dugout.
The Boston Herald today covers the ejection in an article headlined "Strikeout, throw him out: Ortiz gets quick toss." Additional coverage of last night's game is available from The Boston Globe; The Boston Herald; The San Francisco Chronicle; The Providence (R.I.) Journal; The Oakland Tribune; and The Associated Press. You can access the box score and two additional MLB.com wraps via this link.
Credit Tony Randazzo with one ejection and adjust your umpire fantasy league standings accordingly.
