 | McCauley Must Sit Out 4 Games Sunday, July 19th, 2015 The The Georgia Grays were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Cabo San Lucas at Field de Los Layendas. One in particular -- Tommy McCauley. Upon being called out on strikes, the Grays first baseman 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 McCauley 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 McCauley 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 McCauley for 4 games.
So far this year McCauley is batting .264 with 12 home runs, 37 RBIs and 33 runs scored. |   |
