League Rules Hernando Out 3 Games Thursday, May 12th, 2033 The Newark Jail Birds were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Buzzard's Bay at Cobras Ballpark. One in particular -- Víctor Hernando. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jail Birds first 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 Hernando 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 Hernando 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 Hernando for 3 games. This season Hernando is hitting at a .304 pace with 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and has scored 11 times. |
