League Suspends King Wednesday, June 16th, 2027 The Brinkley Belugas were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Tremont at Belugas Ballpark. One in particular -- Noel King. Upon being called out on strikes, the Belugas 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 King 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 King 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 King for 2 games. In his stats this season, King has posted a batting average of .143 with 7 hits in 49 at-bats, no home runs and 3 RBIs. He has also scored 11 runs, walked 11 times and compiled a .306 OBP. |
