What an epic moment. I'll never forget Skip turning his cap around backwards to really get in the ump's face.


I actually remember this game. I am not one to bitch about refs/umpires too much...but the home plate umpire that night was blatantly being an a-hole. Lane Mestepey was pitching that night...a dude with incredible control. Early in that game, the umpire was squeezing Mestepey a little and Skip started bitching. By the 4th inning or so, the umpire had turned into such a bitch that he was literally calling pitches that were right down the middle "balls". Skip then went Earl Weaver on the ump and got tossed. Skip only got ejected twice in his career...that time and in the 1992 SEC tournament in the Superdome.

Skip's most memorable ejection was 1997 elimination game against Long Beach State.

I think he also got tossed in a Regional game against Long Beach State in 1997, I believe.
