League Issues Vivian 3-Game Suspension Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 The Niagara Stars were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to London at Hatchets Ballpark. One in particular -- Elliot Vivian. Upon being called out on strikes, the Stars catcher 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 Vivian 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 Vivian 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 Vivian for 3 games. Currently Vivian is batting .290 with 42 hits and 9 home runs. He has knocked in 25 runs and scored 27 times. |
