The Umpire Ejected this Exec for Not Wearing A Mask While He Was Alone in a Booth
This is a new one.
We’ve seen managers get ejected for throwing bases around the diamond. For spitting and cussing. For just about everything.
But this? Hoo boy.
Umpire Joe West ejected Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo for not wearing a mask. Rizzo was apparently in a box on the upper level of the stadium….by himself.
Some baseball fans had fun poking fun at Joe West for being a “showstopping umpire,” the kind that punches out batters on strike outs with massive karate punch moves.
The Daily Dropout fully agrees with Joe West, remember to wear your masks in the shower and while you sleep! (But for liability reasons, don’t actually do that, it’s a joke).
