Hurtado Suspended by League Monday, March 4th, 2019 The New York Mafia were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Brooklyn at Spring Ballpark. One in particular -- Alfonso Hurtado. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mafia catcher 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 Hurtado 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 Hurtado 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 Hurtado for 4 games. |
