League Rules Young Out 3 Games Friday, July 21st, 2023 The Casper Ghosts were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Belvedere Park at The Graveyard. One in particular -- Dave Young. Upon being called out on strikes, the Ghosts third baseman 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 Young 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 Young 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 Young for 3 games. Young is hitting .129 this year with 1 home run, 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored. He has 11 hits in 85 at-bats, 5 walks and a .187 on-base percentage. Young has played in 26 games. |
