Ugly Incident Ends in 4-Game Suspension Saturday, August 23rd, 2031 The Kingwood Knights were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Chippewa at Stable Park. One in particular -- Earl George. Upon being called out on strikes, the Knights 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 George 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 George 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 George for 4 games. Thus far this year George is batting .372 with 3 home runs, 9 RBIs and 5 runs scored. |
