Ducks Beauregard Suspended Thursday, September 10th, 2015 The Long Island Ducks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Sandy Springs at The Coliseum. One in particular -- Lee Beauregard. Upon being called out on strikes, the Ducks center 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 Beauregard 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 Beauregard 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 Beauregard for 2 games. So far this year Beauregard is hitting .222 with 7 home runs. |
