Gardenhire keeping up with Cox’s pace

A quick bit of fun if you’re scoring at home: Ron Gardenhire was ejected for the 37th time in his managerial career today (welcome back, Ron). He’s managed in right around 1,000 games now, which means he’s tossed roughly an average of once every 27 games. All-time ejection leader Bobby Cox, who was tossed yesterday for No. 137 all time, has managed in more than 4,050 games. That’s a pace of one tossing every 30 or so games. So even though Gardy has a long way to go to catch the master — 100 on the nose — he’s keeping a nice pace by actually being ejected more frequently than Cox.
