Yorba Linda's Takahashi Suspended for 2 Games Tuesday, September 3rd, 2019 The Yorba Linda Mustangs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Silicon Valley at Bloomfield Road. One in particular -- Kensaku Takahashi. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mustangs 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 Takahashi 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 Takahashi 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 Takahashi for 2 games. Thus far this year Takahashi is batting .261 with 11 home runs, 62 RBIs and 90 runs scored. |
