Stroudsburg LF Holder Suspended Friday, July 18th, 2031 The Stroudsburg Shade were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Barrow at The Blizzard Bowl. One in particular -- Greg Holder. Upon being called out on strikes, the Shade left 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 Holder 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 Holder 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 Holder for 3 games. This year Holder is hitting .198 with 16 hits, 1 home run, 9 RBIs and has scored 9 runs. |
