League Takes Action, Gray Suspended Saturday, September 12th, 2026 The Houston BC were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Pennsauken at Houston Park. One in particular -- Joseph Gray. Upon being called out on strikes, the BC shortstop 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 Gray 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 Gray 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 Gray for 4 games. Currently Gray is batting .327 with 5 home runs and 40 RBIs. |
