League Gets Last Word, Suspends Hunt 2 Games Sunday, August 8th, 2021 The Jersey Jesters were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Kansas City at The Royal Court at Jersey Yards. One in particular -- Oscar Hunt. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jesters 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 Hunt 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 Hunt 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 Hunt for 2 games. This season Hunt is batting .324 with 48 RBIs, 63 runs scored and 18 home runs. |
