It was on ESPN the other day. Can an ump throw out the PA guy?

An ump can eject anybody in the stadium.

Them's the rules. I remember an Ichiro impersonator in Seattle a few years ago that sat front row along the first base line, and reached over the wall one game and interfered with a live ball. The ump tossed him.

The same exact thing happened a few years back iirc.
