League Gives Henry Suspension Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 The South Illinois Salukis were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Kansas at Brutes Ballpark. One in particular -- Jason Henry. Upon being called out on strikes, the Salukis 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 Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry for 5 games. This season Henry has hit at a .250 clip and produced 3 RBI, no home runs and 3 runs. |
