Baseball Intern Ejected for “Three Blind Mice” [VIDEO]

A summer intern for a minor league baseball team was thrown out of a game Wednesday night – from the press box.

FOX News Radio’s Paul Stevens explains:

Audio clip:

Derek Dye, heading into his senior year at the University of Illinois, is interning for the minor league Class A Daytona Cubs in Florida.  He got a chance to run the team’s music Wednesday night from the press box, deciding to play “Three Blind Mice”…

…After a close call at first base.  Home plate umpire Mario Seneca was not pleased.

(NATS – Seneca) “You’re gone!”

“You’re gone,” as in ejected from the game.  Seneca, also shutting down the PA.

(NATS – Seneca) “Turn the sound off the rest of the night.”

Team officials say yes, the ump was justified, according to baseball rules.

    Though it is a popular nursery rhyme, it is weird at the same time. Why did a farmer's wife cut the tails of the poor three blind mice? Anyway, the ump refused to be ridiculed. Good job both for the ump and for Derek.
