Austin 2B Gonzalez Suspended Wednesday, September 10th, 2031 The Austin Hipsters were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Brisbane at Baylor Ballpark. One in particular -- Rich Gonzalez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hipsters 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez for 2 games. So far this year Gonzalez is batting .287 with 6 home runs. |
