Warheads Yamashita Suspended Monday, August 8th, 2033 The Amarillo Warheads were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Hudsonville at Field of the Toros. One in particular -- Takechi Yamashita. Upon being called out on strikes, the Warheads catcher 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 Yamashita 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 Yamashita 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 Yamashita for 4 games. In 43 games Yamashita is hitting .226 this season with 19 hits, no home runs, 7 RBIs, 4 walks, .261 OBP and has scored 4 runs. |
