Death Stars RF Hawkins Suspended 4 Games Friday, September 29th, 2017 The Detroit Death Stars were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Philadelphia at The Death Star. One in particular -- Millard Hawkins. Upon being called out on strikes, the Death Stars right 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 Hawkins 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 Hawkins 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 Hawkins for 4 games. Currently Hawkins is hitting .294 and has collected 10 home runs, 61 RBIs and scored 64 times, while playing in 97 games. |
