World Series Ejections in Chronological Order

Congratulations go to Bobby Cox for becoming the first and only World Series participant ejected twice!

The Associated Press described the ejection in 1996 with the following: Cox's night ended in the fifth while arguing a play in which Grissom was thrown out at second. Grissom tried to advance from first on a pitch in the dirt, and was cut down by Girardi in a close call.

Other interesting stats: twenty-two ejections have occurred during sixteen different World Series. Two Series, 1919 and 1935, featured ejections from both teams; two Series, 1934 and 1959, had ejections from the winning team; and the remaining twelve Series had ejections from the losing team!
