1B Bryant Receives 2-Game Suspension Tuesday, August 16th, 2033 The Kingwood Knights were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to St. Paul at Saints Ballpark. One in particular -- Jaden Bryant. Upon being called out on strikes, the Knights 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 Bryant 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 Bryant 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 Bryant for 2 games. For the season Bryant has produced 110 hits in 343 at-bats for a .321 average with 16 home runs and gotten on base at a .378 clip. |
