MLB’s All-Time Top 5 Manager Ejections

4. Lloyd McClendon

McClendon proved that any base can be stolen after being ejected from a game on June 26, 2001. Then the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, McClendon left the dugout in the seventh inning of a game with the Milwaukee Brewers to argue a close play at first base.

After being tossed by first base umpire, McClendon threw his cap, got nose-to-nose with some choice words, and kicked dirt on the bag. But he wasn’t finished. The Bucs skipper picked up first base, put it under his arm, and walked off the field to the cheers of the hometown crowd.

In the time since, McClendon has had other incidents, notably a 2004 confrontation with St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa, and a good round of hat-kicking in 2015 as manager of the Seattle Mariners.
