Brisbane Loses 2B de Leon, Suspended by League Sunday, August 13th, 2034 The Brisbane Bush Wackers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Houston at Woodland Park. One in particular -- Mario de Leon. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bush Wackers 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 de Leon 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 de Leon 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 de Leon for 2 games. In 2034 de Leon has hit at a .244 clip with 48 hits, 2 home runs, 21 RBIs and has scored 17 times. |
