Nationals star Stephen Strasburg earned one of baseball's most unique ejections probably ever in the third inning of Washington's game against the New York Mets on Thursday.

Someone was heard yelling: Youre (expletive) brutal shortly before television cameras captured Strasburg doffing his cap as he walked up the staircase on his way out of the park.
