Major League Baseball umpires took mask enforcement to new levels Sunday.
Umpires stopped a game to eject Nationals GM Mike Rizzo for not wearing a mask, even though he was literally alone in the upper deck:

Umpire Joe West claimed after the game that he ejected Rizzo for yelling at the umpires.
Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was tossed for yelling at umpires from a luxury suite in Atlanta on Sunday, with longtime crew chief Joe West saying, “enough is enough.”
“I wouldn’t take that from a player. I wouldn’t take that from a manager,” West told The Associated Press. “If it was Donald Trump, I’d eject him, too. But I’d still vote for him.”
