 | Wolverines 2B Davidson Suspended 3 Games Monday, April 21st, 2014 The Michigan Wolverines were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Arkansas at Siege Ballpark. One in particular -- Kane Davidson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Wolverines second 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 Davidson 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 Davidson 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 Davidson for 3 games.
Davidson is presently hitting at a .121 pace with 1 home run, 7 RBIs and has scored 3 times. |   |
