Basically, it seems that he got himself ejected on purpose so his bench coach, who is stepping down after being diagnosed with Parkinson's, will manage his last game with the Indians.

Awesome gesture.

Manny Acta is one of the clasiest managers out there. He did a lot for DC baseball in his time in Washington. Classy move

I love that he'll deny it to the bitter end. Tossed for arguing balls and strikes after the top of the first inning of the last game which happens to be meaningless and coincidentally is the last game of your ill bench coach's career?

Perfect, Manny.
