  • With the Death of Ted Rogers, Owner of Rogers Communications and the Jays, Beeston (Welland, Ont.) May Be Around a Long Enough to Shed His Interim Tag
    1. Paul Beeston , CEO on an interim basis, Blue Jays (10). With the death of Ted Rogers, owner of Rogers Communications and the Jays, Beeston (Welland, Ont.) may be around a long enough to shed his interim tag. Whether he goes or stays, people will be say five years from now what a good/bad hire the next president of the Jays was. 2. Greg Hamilton , director of national teams, junior coach, Baseball Canada (1A). No ones makes as many decisions and runs through as many mine fields as he does. This year. for example. he put together four distinct rosters: The pre-Olympic tourney in March at Taiwan; the Canadian junior team, which lost in the quarters at Edmonton in August; the Olympic team in Bejing and the 2009 junior team which headed to Florida in October. He has been negotiating with MLB teams for the World Baseball Classic, to be played at the Rogers Centre in March. You can find Hamilton (Peterborough, Ont.) at his Ottawa office until 10:30 most nights. 3. Pat Gillick, senior adviser, Philadelphia Phillies (5). As GM, he guided the Phillies to the 2008 World Series — his third. He became a Canadian citizen in November of 2005 after living in Toronto since 1976 and has always supported Canadian baseball. He led the Jays, Orioles, Mariners and the Phillies to post-season play 11 times in his final 20 seasons. He added Jamie Moyer, Brad Lidge, J.C. Romero, Joe Blanton, Matt Stairs, Jayson Werth, Greg Dobbs, Scott Eyre, J.C. Romero and Chad Durbin , who were all small pieces to complete the puzzle.

  • A Short History of Ejections David Vincent
    A Short History of Ejections David Vincent In 1889, the baseball rules were changed to allow an umpire to remove a player from the game for an offense. Previously, the arbiter could only fine such player. The new rule allowed the umpire to eject a player for the repetition of any finable offense. The fine system had started in 1879. The first person to be ejected was Dave Orr of the Columbus Colts of the American Association. He was upset about a call at 3B by umpire Fred Goldsmith on May 25, 1889 and was told by the arbiter that his services were no longer required that day. Seven days later, Buck Ewing of the National League’s New York Giants was tossed for foul language directed at umpire Wes Curry. Ewing was the first NL player to be ejected. Between 1924 and 1946 in the NL and 1907 and 1952 in the American League, a person ejected from the first game of a double header was disqualified from the second game. Before those rules were put in place, several players were ejected from both games played in one day. Jesse Burkett is the first known player to be ejected from both games of a double header. This occurred on August 4, 1897 when Burkett’s Cleveland Spiders were in Louisville. Burkett was tossed in each game for arguing about the strike zone with umpire Jimmy Wolf. The following list contains the people known to have been ejected from both game of a double header. Ejected from Both Games of a DH Managers 09/04/1911 Fred Tenney Boston Braves 06/09/1946 Mel Ott New York Giants 07/27/1946 Frankie Frisch Pittsburgh Pirates 06/06/1954 Jimmy Dykes Baltimore Orioles 08/03/1958 Paul Richards Baltimore Orioles 07/21/1963 Walter Alston Los Angeles Dodgers 08/04/1963 Johnny Keane St.
