Earthquakes Kerr Suspended Wednesday, July 20th, 2022 The San Francisco Earthquakes were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Portland at Waterfront Park. One in particular -- Adam Kerr. Upon being called out on strikes, the Earthquakes third baseman 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 Kerr 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 Kerr 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 Kerr for 2 games. Kerr on the season is batting .287 with 14 home runs. His totals include 49 RBIs and 58 runs scored. He has played in 91 games. |
