World Series game that day where police had to be called to an apartment near the stadium. He noted that the apartment's occupant had been flashing a mirror in the eyes of certain Yankee players when they stepped up to bat. Player and manager ejections Hurley's ejection record was among the highest in the major leagues. According to Retrosheet statistics, Hurley had 110 total ejections in his American League career. Wikipedia's Major League Baseball umpiring records reports Hurley as ranking 13th in total ejections and in 3rd place for ejections in American League history. The first player ejected by Hurley was Boston Red Sox catcher, Birdie Tebbetts, on June 9, 1947, for arguing over a pitch call. This was just a few weeks after Tebbetts was traded by the Tigers to the Red Sox, an early sign of Hurley's willingness to treat all teams and players the same, even members of his home state's team in Hurley's first A.L. season. Hurley's final ejection, number 110 in August 1965, was Detroit's Hank Aguirre for bench jockeying. The 1959 World Series featured the first ejection of a Series team manager in more than 25 Years. Charley Dressen, coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers, was ejected by Ed Hurley in the fourth inning of the final game when he refused to stop arguing with plate umpire, Frank Dascoli's, ball and strike calls. Hurley was working at first in that game, and warned Dressen to "shut up." Dressen reportedly responded, "You shut up," and was ejected. This was the first ejection since Heinie Manush of the Senators was removed from a Series game by Umpire Charley Moran in the 1933. After that incident, the Baseball Commissioner reserved the right to dismiss Series players. However, that did not extend to managers. One of Hurley's last ejections was Red Sox manager Johnny Pesky on July 20, 1964, in a game against the Twins. Hurley overruled a ground rule double call when the ball hit the top of Fenway's Green Monster. Hurley ruled it a home run for the Twins, and Pesky was ejected for arguing the call. Hurley reflects on his ejection of Yogi Berra in an April 1967 Christian Science Monitor report, after running into Yogi Berra while Hurley was working as Road Secretary for the A's: Yogi, it seems, whirled around to object to a call, and bumped Hurley.
