League Gets Last Word, Suspends Meaker 4 Games Tuesday, July 29th, 2031 The Coronado Phantoms were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Minneapolis at Phantoms Field. One in particular -- Spencer Meaker. Upon being called out on strikes, the Phantoms shortstop 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 Meaker 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 Meaker 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 Meaker for 4 games. Meaker is currently batting .244 with 5 home runs and 24 RBIs. |
