Colorado Rockies and
Chicago Cubs on August 7, 2001, he ordered former
Chicago Bears defensive lineman
Steve McMichael ejected from
Wrigley Field after he criticized crew member and former MLB umpire
Angel Hernandez over the PA system when he took a turn as the guest singer for Take Me Out to the Ball Game. It was originally thought that Hernandez had ordered the ejection, but it was later revealed that it was actually Marsh. Marsh allegedly refused to continue the game unless McMichael was removed from the ballpark, and he and his crew later received an apology letter from Cubs general manager
Andy MacPhail over McMichael's actions. Marsh was the crew chief of Crew P for 2009, which included
Mike Winters,
Alfonso Márquez, and

strike zone, meaning he was among the most popular umpires for pitchers as well as hitters. Marsh retired from umpiring following the 2009 season. , he is the Director of Umpiring for Major League Baseball. == Awards and accolades ==
