The ump should be fired in my opinion.

Minor-league DJ ejected from game after playing ‘Three Blind Mice’

The home plate umpire for Wednesday's Daytona Cubs-Fort Myers Miracle game may have been figuratively "blind," but he wasn't experiencing any problems with his hearing.

It led to one of the funnier scenes we'll see from a minor-league game all season as umpire Mario Seneca took immediate objection to hearing "Three Blind Mice" playing after he had made a questionable call at Daytona's Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The umpire wheeled around and motioned to the press box that Derek Dye — a DJ intern on summer break from the University of Illinois — was getting the old heave-ho.

Wow, he is really on a power trip. I say dump the ump.

To me, the announcer is part of the fan base and not part of the game. It's the announcers job to get the crowed into a game. To me, so long as the actual play of the game is not interfered with, they should not have control over what the announcers are doing to interact with the crowed. Ump should pay more attention to the balls and strikes and less about what the announcer is doing.
