 | Bustamante Gets 2-Game Suspension Friday, September 6th, 2013: The South Carolina Bombers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Montgomery at Bomber Ballpark. One in particular -- Orlando Bustamante. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bombers left fielder gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Bustamante lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Bustamante told reporters, "He was blind today. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him. If he doesn't know the words to the song, I'm sure we can get it in Braille, so he can follow along." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Bustamante for 2 games. This season Bustamante has 28 home runs and a .311 batting average. |   |
