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. Between 1924 and 1946 in the Natinal League 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. The most ejections in one day occurred on August 12, 1984, when 18 different people were ejected. Jim McKean threw out Orioles manager Joe Altobelli that day for arguing a fair/foul call. The other 17 came in the game between the Braves and Padres in Atlanta on that Sunday afternoon. The two teams participated in a bean ball war which saw both managers (Dick Williams and Joe Torre), two Padres coaches (Jack Krol and Ozzie Virgil Sr.), 4 Braves players and 9 Padres players tossed from the contest. With the advent of instant replay in September 2008, players and managers were given another reason to argue and be tossed from a game. The expanded replay which started in 2014 explicitly outlawed arguing about the replay results but this did not stop lots of people from doing so.--retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf
