Youth Rivas Suspended Saturday, June 3rd, 2028 The Phoenix Hotspur Youth were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Lannister United at Lionheart Field. One in particular -- David Rivas. Upon being called out on strikes, the Youth 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 Rivas 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 Rivas 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 Rivas for 4 games. Rivas is hitting .360 this season with no home runs, 5 RBIs and 23 runs scored. He has 41 hits in 114 at-bats. |
