Major leaguers aren't the only ones who go ballistic when an umpire makes a bad call.

Brennan Metzger, an outfielder for the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, cursed out home plate umpire Mike Jarboe in Monday night's game after he was called out looking on a questionable third strike.

After Jarboe ejected him, Metzger returned to the field with a trash can from the RedHawks' dugout and suggested it was Jarboe's natural habitat.

That's probably the most creative use of a trash can that you'll find on a baseball diamond.
