Top YT comment: >The home plate umpire was fined following this game. Wally and Doc received no further consequences. I think that's all you really need to know
Icing on the cake.

The article itself states: "The suspension though is not Backman's actions on the field after his ejection in the eighth innning of Tuesday's game in Anderson.
But for his confrontation with Anderson's radio play-by-play announcer and general manager in the press box after the game."
So yes, hope so...

If you haven’t seen it, the entire “Playing for Peanuts” documentary (where this vid comes from) is pure solid gold. Wally is amazing.

As someone with no more than a passing understanding of baseball, was Wally within his rights to do what he did, prior to throwing the bats and balls on the field? Was the umpire being a dick?

Honestly don’t know. Umpires can be known to go on power trips from time to time and think everyone is there to see them. But in this case I don’t know the backstory.

The most tragic thing about Philip Seymour Hoffman being dead is that the world never got to see him in a Wally Backman biopic.
