League Suspends Marauders O'Doherty 3 Games Wednesday, May 15th, 2024 The Maple Marauders were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Georgia at The Death Star. One in particular -- Danny O'Doherty. Upon being called out on strikes, the Marauders shortstop 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 O'Doherty 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 O'Doherty 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 O'Doherty for 3 games. O'Doherty is hitting .316 this season with 1 home run, 16 RBIs and 17 runs scored. He has 42 hits in 133 at-bats. |
