Woolfrey Suspended, Out 2 Games Friday, June 9th, 2017 The Chippewa River Chiefs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Tempe at The Reservation. One in particular -- Brian Woolfrey. Upon being called out on strikes, the River Chiefs left 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 Woolfrey 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 Woolfrey 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 Woolfrey for 2 games. Woolfrey is presently hitting at a .206 pace with 2 home runs and 16 RBIs. He has played in 54 games and scored 25 times. |
