League Suspends Indianapolis CF Mathews Thursday, June 13th, 2024 The Indianapolis Racers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Silicon Valley at San Jose Municipal Stadium. One in particular -- Aaron Mathews. Upon being called out on strikes, the Racers center 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 Mathews 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 Mathews 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 Mathews for 2 games. This season Mathews is batting .238 with 25 RBIs, 17 runs scored and 2 home runs. |
