 | Frustrated Purkis Injured During Clubhouse Tantrum
Sunday, June 1st, 2014
Tensions in the Kelowna clubhouse reached the boiling point after yet another frustrating loss yesterday. After the game, center fielder Byron Purkis began knocking over water bottles, kicking chairs, and throwing equipment. "Byron is just a really emotional guy and I think he was just physically expressing what most of us were feeling," said teammate Ray Livingston. To make matters even worse, Purkis appeared to have injured his hand during the meltdown. "He has a big bruise on his hand and it looks like he may have dislocated his index finger," said manager Mike Cole. "You know, I understand how Byron feels and I can appreciate his passion, but he really needs to figure out better ways of channeling it. Having him out for the next few games is just gonna put us at even more of a disadvantage and we need all the able bodies we can get at this point.." |   |
