Home-plate ump Bob Davidson ejected a Phillies fan last night

CSN Philadelphia announcers had no idea how Home-plate umpire Bob Davidson could eject a Phillies fan last night. Initial reports were that the fan continuously yelled, "You suck!" Later reports are that it got worse.

“This guy starts yelling, ‘You suck!’ You could tell he was [drunk],” Davidson said after the game. “And so, all right, suck is not bad. Then he kept it up for two hitters completely.”

After the first pitch to the third hitter, Davidson said the fan screamed, “I own property on 69th street,” which was followed by a statement with the same four-letter word but in a context that Davidson felt crossed the line.

“That’s when I turned around and said, ‘You know what, get rid of this guy.’ You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids — they buy tickets. They don’t have to come here and listen to that. That’s exactly what he said to throw him out.”



Good for Bob.
