League Gets Last Word, Suspends Layar 3 Games Tuesday, July 20th, 2027 The Philadelphia Freedom were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Anchorage at Anchorage Municipal Stadium. One in particular -- Gesang Layar. Upon being called out on strikes, the Freedom 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 Layar 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 Layar 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 Layar for 3 games. So far this season Layar has hit .283 with no home runs, 2 RBIs and and scored 6 times. |
