League Suspends East St. Louis's Cantú Monday, June 7th, 2060 It was showtime at the East St. Louis-George Town game yesterday at Ballpark of Stockton. East St. Louis center fielder David Cantú was kicked out of the game for arguing a third strike and he took out his frustration on his hat, the umpires and the dirt, earning an ejection with the kind of theatrical argument that fans don't often see. "I didn't like the ump's explanation and told him so in no uncertain terms. I told him he missed it and he knew it. I wanted to kick something and I figured that was the best thing. Walls don't work too well, and water coolers are expensive," Cantú said. "I don't have any concern. I don't think I did anything that warrants a suspension. So much for his opinion. The league office did not agree with him and suspended him for 3 games. Currently Cantú is batting .249 with 4 home runs, 22 RBIs and 30 runs scored. |
