Hat Incident Ejects Manager | Colorado Rockies News

A baseball game erupted over a crooked pitcher’s hat—no foul ball, no bad pitch, just an umpire’s call that sparked an argument and an ejection. Umpire Doug Eddings told Cardinals pitcher Giovanny Gallegos to fix his cap, which led manager Oliver Marmol to be tossed. The trigger? A batter, Nolan Gorman, allegedly asked if the pitcher could wear it that way—but Gorman later admitted he didn’t notice the hat was crooked and never intended to provoke the issue. The umpire insisted it wasn’t rule-breaking, but he defended his call as a necessary distraction prevention, comparing it to adjusting a glove. A bizarre, unwritten-rule moment that turned into chaos on the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
