Castro Given 4-Game Suspension Monday, July 15th, 2058 The Woodmere Starfires were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to San Nicolas at Bulwarks Ballpark. One in particular -- Sergio Castro. Upon being called out on strikes, the Starfires third 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 Castro 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 Castro 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 Castro for 4 games. So far this season Castro has gotten 4 hits in 21 at-bats for a .190 batting average with no home runs. His stats include 4 RBIs and 0 runs scored. He has played in 7 games. |
