"Ump Tells Lout To Not Shout, So He's Out": The Washington Post today contains an article that begins, "There were so few fans at Dolphin Stadium for Wednesday's game, a season ticket holder got thrown out for heckling the umpire too loudly. In the fifth inning of the Florida Marlins' 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals, home plate umpire Paul Schreiber gave the thumb to an unnamed man seated behind the plate who had been verbally abusive throughout the contest."

As regular readers of this blog have noticed, I've fallen a few days behind in updating recent Major League Baseball ejections. Because this blog only awards Umpire Fantasy League credit to umpires who eject players, coaches, and/or managers, home plate umpire Paul Schreiber will not be receiving credit for his ejection of a fan for excessive heckling. Nor does MLB.com's official box score of yesterday's Nationals-Marlins game note the ejection. Additional coverage of the fan's ejection is available at this post from "Deadspin."
