League Takes Action, Meyers Suspended Tuesday, April 3rd, 2018 The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Iowa State at Forney College Grounds. One in particular -- Tim Meyers. Upon being called out on strikes, the Yellow Jackets 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 Meyers 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 Meyers 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 Meyers for 2 games. This season Meyers has hit at a .278 clip with 12 RBIs, 4 home runs and 15 runs scored. He has played in 23 games. |
