Coyotes McLean Suspended Saturday, May 26th, 2035 The Hamilton Coyotes were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Hialeah at Coyote Wildlife Refuge. One in particular -- Zack McLean. Upon being called out on strikes, the Coyotes 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 McLean 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 McLean 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 McLean for 3 games. In 19 games McLean is hitting .288 this season with 21 hits, 4 home runs, 16 RBIs, 9 walks, .365 OBP and has scored 16 runs. |
