Mitch Williams thrown out of kids baseball game for profanity laced tirade

Although he disputes some of the details, former major leaguer and MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams was ejected from a baseball game for kids after reportedly calling an umpire a "mother-[bleeper]" Saturday. Williams' insult was the highlight or lowlight, actually of a profanity laced tirade that lasted about 10 minutes, witnesses told Deadspin.

The photo above, taken by @HitMeSeo on Twitter,
is of Williams getting into it with an umpire at a Ripken tournament in Aberdeen, Md. for 10-year-olds and younger. Williams coaches his son's team, Jersey Wild. Get it? "Wild," after "Wild Thing," his nickname as a pitcher who had trouble finding home plate sometimes.

Williams also has some problems finding his self-control as an adult (reportedly). Via The DeadspinTournament officials lifted the ban, saying later that the umpire had acted "unprofessionally." And, as CBS Eye on Baseball notes, Williams via Twitter said that him blowing up isn't the entire story. But you know what? It doesn't really matter, if what multiple witnesses say is even close to the truth about Williams' behavior. As a coach of the team and as a public figure, Williams has to set the example for the kids watching.

Heading over to the Ripken home page, let's look for some of the words the organization likes to use to describe itself: Character. Commitment. Integrity. Teamwork. Family. Fun. Community. Passion. Perseverance.
