Montana's Richardson Suspended 2 Games Sunday, September 19th, 2027 The Montana Pandas were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Northern Virginia at Atlantica. One in particular -- Jake Richardson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Pandas catcher 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 Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson for 2 games. This year Richardson has hit at a .246 clip with 37 RBIs, 9 home runs and 24 runs scored. |
