RF Kavanagh Receives 3-Game Suspension Thursday, July 20th, 2034 The Saskatoon Legends were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Niagara at Drummondville College Grounds. One in particular -- Burt Kavanagh. Upon being called out on strikes, the Legends 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 Kavanagh 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 Kavanagh 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 Kavanagh for 3 games. This season Kavanagh is swinging the bat at a .358 pace. He has hit 31 home runs and scored 53 times, while driving in 72. His on-base percentage is .462 and he has played in 56 games. |
