Acapulco C Clark Suspended Friday, April 30th, 2021 The Acapulco Banditos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Winston at Underdogs Ballpark. One in particular -- Matt Clark. Upon being called out on strikes, the Banditos 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 Clark 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 Clark 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 Clark for 2 games. This season Clark has delivered 19 hits in 84 at-bats for a .226 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .309 clip and his totals also include 14 RBIs and 13 runs scored. This year Clark has played in 21 games. |
