A’s manager Mark Kotsay has long, embarrassing journey in awkward ejection
NY Post
For once, someone may have missed the Coliseum.
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay had to make a 330-foot-plus walk of shame after being ejected from Sunday’s win over the Phillies since the home team clubhouse at Sutter Health Park — a minor-league park in Sacramento serving as the team’s temporary home — is located beyond the outfield walls.
While almost all his fellow managers can just retreat through their dugout to the clubhouse, Kotsay instead had plenty of time to think about his ejection in the seventh inning of a 5-4 win.
“It’s long. It’s long, definitely,” Kotsay said with a laugh. “There was a moment where I thought, should I jog? And then I thought, actually no, I think (Phillies starter Jesus) Luzardo could use a little break.”
