Kamm Will Sit Out 2 Games, Suspended by League Tuesday, May 3rd, 2033 The Joplin Fireballs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Canton at Mckinley Park. One in particular -- Josh Kamm. Upon being called out on strikes, the Fireballs right 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 Kamm 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 Kamm 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 Kamm for 2 games. So far this season Kamm has gotten 23 hits in 90 at-bats for a .256 batting average with 2 home runs. His stats include 11 RBIs and 12 runs scored. He has played in 25 games. |
