League Suspends Defenders Potter 3 Games Tuesday, September 6th, 2022 The West Coast Defenders were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Jacksonville at Hellcats Park. One in particular -- William Potter. Upon being called out on strikes, the Defenders first 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 Potter 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 Potter 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 Potter for 3 games. Currently Potter is hitting .299 and has collected 8 home runs, 56 RBIs and scored 111 times, while playing in 135 games. |
