League Takes Action, Fowler Suspended Friday, May 6th, 2033 The Jacksonville State Jaguars were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Pitman High at Chickenhawks Stadium. One in particular -- Chris Fowler. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jaguars left 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 Fowler 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 Fowler 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 Fowler for 4 games. Thus far this year Fowler is batting .300 with 8 home runs, 22 RBIs and 30 runs scored. |
