An Gets 2-Game Suspension Saturday, September 3rd, 2039 The Olympia Ogres were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Virginia at Palladium Labs. One in particular -- Xi-ku An. Upon being called out on strikes, the Ogres 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 An 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 An 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 An for 2 games. An is swinging at a .252 pace on the year with no home runs, 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored. He has played in 38 games. |
