Irate Pérez Suspended 2 Games Monday, September 13th, 2032 The New Amsterdam Dutchmen were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Seattle at Boeing Dome. One in particular -- David Pérez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Dutchmen second 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 Pérez 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 Pérez 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 Pérez for 2 games. Looking at his stats this year, Pérez has compiled a .217 batting average, while hitting 1 home run and driving in 3 runs. He has played in 20 games and scored 7 runs. |
