League Gives Perry Suspension Wednesday, September 27th, 2017 The Whitewater Eagles were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Westside at The Aerie. One in particular -- Roger Perry. Upon being called out on strikes, the Eagles 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 Perry 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 Perry 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 Perry for 4 games. Thus far in 2017 Perry is hitting .247 with 6 home runs, 27 RBIs, 35 runs scored and has compiled a .327 OBP. |
