League Gives Brown Suspension Tuesday, April 18th, 2017 The Winfield Warriors were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Chippewa at The Barn. One in particular -- Paul Brown. Upon being called out on strikes, the Warriors center 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 Brown 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 Brown 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 Brown for 7 games. So far this season Brown is batting .294 with no home runs, 4 RBIs and 1 run scored. He has 5 hits in 17 at-bats, 2 walks and a .368 OBP. Brown has played in 5 games. |
