League Gets Last Word, Suspends Reyna 2 Games Tuesday, April 11th, 2028 The Whitewater Eagles were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Bel Air at Philip Banks Field. One in particular -- Jorge Reyna. Upon being called out on strikes, the Eagles first baseman 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 Reyna 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 Reyna 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 Reyna for 2 games. This season Reyna has hit at a .087 clip with 0 RBIs, 0 home runs and 2 runs scored. He has played in 9 games. |
