Of the 199 MLB ejections in 2011, Jerry Layne and crewmates Bob Davidson, Hunter Wendelstedt and Brian Knight accounted for 26, or 13 percent—8 for Davidson, 8 for Wendelstedt, 6 for Knight and 4 for Layne. With 17 umpire crews, the average crew administered just 11-12 ejections, meaning Layne's crew ejected twice as much as the ordinary crew. By comparison, Joe West's crew barely scratched the 20 ejection mark.
As such, perhaps a parting-of-the-ways is ineluctably necessary.
The following image has been seized as a proposal of this umpiring crew's critical shake-up with Vanover taking Knight's place:
I hope you noticed what day it is today... April Fool's!
