Kennesaw's Márquez Suspended 3 Games Wednesday, July 14th, 2027 The Kennesaw Jets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Walla Walla at Walleye Tank. One in particular -- Manuel Márquez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jets center 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 Márquez 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 Márquez 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 Márquez for 3 games. This season Márquez is batting .286 with 52 hits, no home runs, 14 RBIs, .335 OBP and has scored 14 runs. |
