Freidricks Suspended by League Friday, August 16th, 2024 The Highwood Hawks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Myrtle Beach at Seahwaks Stadium. One in particular -- Harry Freidricks. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hawks 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 Freidricks 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 Freidricks 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 Freidricks for 2 games. Thus far this year Freidricks has hit .210 with 3 home runs and 19 RBIs. |
