July 29, 2009 – Atlanta Braves vs Florida Marlins: Bill Hohn ejected Bobby Cox and Brian McCann. Read the story and watch the video.
In the 8th inning Bill Hohn called a 1-0 pitch a strike on Brian McCann. After McCann returned to the dugout, Hohn heard something that led him to walk to the edge of the Braves’ dugout. Bobby Cox and Hohn exchanged words. Cox tried to walk away, but Hohn pulled out the lineup card and told Cox he had to throw somebody out of the game. Hohn told Cox to pick a player to eject or he would pick a player for him. Instead of kicking a player out Cox asked to be ejected, for the 147th time in his career. Before the next inning started Brian McCann was kicked out for asking Hohn “Can you at least admit that you missed the pitch?” At the end of the game Hohn was seen exchanging a fist bump with Marlins catcher John Baker. Chipper Jones was quoted saying “As a player, it makes me not want to play when that stuff happens, because you don’t have a chance.”
