 | League Gives Heredia 3-Game Suspension Monday, June 17th, 2013: The San Antonio Storm Troopers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Murfreesboro at William Spade Park. One in particular -- Carlos Heredia. Upon being called out on strikes, the Storm Troopers catcher 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 Heredia 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 Heredia 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 Heredia for 3 games. Heredia is currently hitting at a .173 pace with no home runs, 7 RBIs and has scored 7 times. |   |
