Biscuits Gram Suspended
Monday, September 3rd, 2035
The Montgomery Biscuits were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Valley View at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium. One in particular -- Joe Gram. Upon being called out on strikes, the Biscuits 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 Gram 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 Gram 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 Gram for 2 games.
Gram is hitting .236 so far this season with 12 RBIs and 21 runs scored. He has 59 hits including 2 home runs, 18 walks and .286 OBP.
