Ugly Incident Ends in 4-Game Suspension Saturday, May 6th, 2028 The Westside Road Warriors were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Springfield at Road Warriors Field. One in particular -- José García. Upon being called out on strikes, the Road Warriors second 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 García 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 García 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 García for 4 games. This year García is hitting .253 with 2 home runs and 22 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .343 clip and scored 12 runs. |
