3-Game Suspension for Mafia Bernard Sunday, September 19th, 2032 The New York Mafia were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Portland at Don Corleone Park. One in particular -- Jean Bernard. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mafia 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 Bernard 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 Bernard 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 Bernard for 3 games. In his 2032 season totals, Bernard has no home runs, .000 BA, .125 OBP, 0 RBIs and 2 runs scored. |
