Chicago White Sox fans have grown pretty tired with the team’s manager, Tony La Russa. On Monday night the ump behind home plate apparently felt the same way and sent the 77 year old to the showers early with one of the most casual ejections you’ll ever see in a MLB game.
La Russa wasn’t happy with a pitch that was called a ball (which was obviously a ball) and had something to say to umpire David Rackley. La Russa then made his way out of the dugout to have some more words with the ump and then was tossed before he even made it to the plate.
Here’s the whole scene:

This ejection motion by Rackley was tremendous:
