League Takes Action, Paul Suspended Tuesday, May 30th, 2017 The Marmora Scramblers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Sun Prairie at Scramblers Ballpark. One in particular -- Peter Paul. Upon being called out on strikes, the Scramblers right 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 Paul for 2 games. For the season, Paul is hitting at a .304 clip with 1 home run, 9 RBIs and has scored 11 runs. He has 21 hits, 9 walks and a .380 on-base percentage. |
