Leo Durocher



On this date in 1940, a rhubarb at Ebbets Field results in a suspension and fine for Leo Durocher for allegedly "inciting a riot" involving fans and umpires.

Those police/authority figures sure seem to be a bit on the "passive side" if you ask me.

They didn't want to mess up their buttons?

Was the "fan" even ejected?

Rhubarb!

I know they might not want to mess up those buttons but come on!

Was the "fan" even ejected?

Applauded?
