WFAN caller confronts Brandon Tierney over ejection from son's Little League game
Brandon Tierney was run from his son's 10U Little League baseball game and apparently did his best Billy Martin impression.
The WFAN radio host, who had just returned from vacation, dove into the details after a caller provided an alleged first-hand account of Tierney, an assistant coach of his son's team, being ejected after arguing with a female umpire.
'When the game ended, there was a play at third base,' Tierney said per Awful Announcing, while admitting that this was not 'a great moment.'

'We have the video. Unfortunately, there is no replay, he was safe, they called him out…my manager walks on the field to protest the call, he was safe. That was the end of the game. Automatically, aggressive ejection.'
A caller had previously called in on July 17 to Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti on the pair's WFAN morning show, saying Tierney 'came out charging' while arguing a play at third base and using language that he should not have used around kids.
The caller added that the team appealed the ejection of Tierney, and the manager was also ejected from the game, leaving the team shorthanded.
'The one thing that did bother me about the way it was reported,' Tierney said, 'it made it seem like I treated a female ump differently. I didn't. She wasn't even the one who threw me out.'
'Ridiculous level of aggression,' Tierney claimed of the umpire. 'So, I got thrown out on a technicality. I'm exonerated. I didn't do anything wrong. In the court of public opinion, honestly, I think I'm guilt free. I think I should be set free. It was not waiting in the parking lot to fight an umpire or in his face like Billy Martin, screaming at him with spit flying out. It was, 'Ah, Blue, you missed that.' That was really it. I know you probably want a funnier, sexier version. I didn't even really do anything wrong.'
The original caller who told the story added that Tierney's son is a 'hell of a ball player' for his team in Fort Lee.
