Mashers Gregg Suspended
Thursday, July 6th, 2056
The Crab Apple Cove Mashers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Death Valley at Vargas Field. One in particular -- Roger Gregg. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mashers 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 Gregg 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 Gregg 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 Gregg for 2 games.

So far this season Gregg has hit .235 with 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and scored 21 times.
