Spartans Sánchez Suffers 4-Game Suspension Monday, May 29th, 2023 The Sandy Springs Spartans were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to New York at The Coliseum. One in particular -- José Sánchez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Spartans 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 Sánchez 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 Sánchez 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 Sánchez for 4 games. So far this year Sánchez has hit .344 with 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and 11 runs scored. |
