League Suspends Ellesmere Island RF Cornwell Friday, September 6th, 2041 The Ellesmere Island Snowpeople were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at The Igloo against the Surprise Shockers, Snowpeople right fielder Bernard Cornwell 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 Cornwell 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, Cornwell said he was too disgusted to talk about it. Cornwell is presently hitting at a .286 pace with 5 home runs, 49 RBIs and has scored 34 times. |
