Silicon Valley's Constant Suspended Monday, August 28th, 2017 The Silicon Valley Hackers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Lubbock at San Jose Municipal Stadium. One in particular -- Lorenzo Constant. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hackers shortstop 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 Constant 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 Constant 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 Constant for 6 games. For the year Constant is hitting .257 with 8 home runs. His stats include 37 runs batted in and 53 runs scored. |
