Drummers Mixon Suspended 4 Games Friday, September 14th, 2040 The Tortolita Drummers were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at Drummers Ballpark against the Sunset District Fog, Drummers right fielder Glen Allen Mixon was ejected by the home plate umpire after he vociferously questioned a third-strike call. The commissioner's office issued a 4-game suspension, saying the league would not tolerate a player behaving in that manner. The disgruntled Mixon refused to leave the field and kicked dirt on the umpire's shoes. His manager tried to keep him away from the umpire and physically had to remove him to the dugout with the help of the two other coaches. Reached for comment after getting the suspension notice, Mixon said he was too disgusted to talk about it. Mixon is hitting .275 so far this season with 31 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 42 hits including 6 home runs, 7 walks and .317 OBP. |
