League Suspends Bel Air's Chave Wednesday, April 27th, 2022 The Bel Air Princes were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Houston at Woodland Park. One in particular -- Toby Chave. Upon being called out on strikes, the Princes right 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 Chave 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 Chave 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 Chave for 4 games. This season Chave is batting at a .360 clip with 3 home runs and 13 RBIs. |
