League Issues Jiménez 3-Game Suspension Friday, August 18th, 2028 The New York Mafia were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Dallas at Don Corleone Park. One in particular -- Gilberto Jiménez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mafia right 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 Jiménez 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 Jiménez 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 Jiménez for 3 games. For the season Jiménez has hit .358 with 12 home runs and 40 RBIs. He has played in 62 games and scored 35 times. |
