| » April 21, 2002:
Tulsa Drillers manager Tim Ireland is ejected in a Texas League game for arguing about organ music at Rich Winder Field in Little Rock, Arkansas. Against the Travelers Ireland becomes irate when organist Rich Pharris starts playing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" while Trent Durrington bats in the 6th. Twice, Durrington, distracted by the music, tries to call time, but umpire Jason Markley refuses. Durrington, an Australian, yesterday was greeted at the plate by "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Boy.'' He asked Pharris to replace the song with "anything else.'' Ireland expresses his irritation to umpire Markley who tosses him, but orders Pharris to play only between innings. As Ireland leaves the field, Pharris plays "Happy Trails."
