Irate Neal Suspended 4 Games Sunday, August 18th , 2047 The Oakland Oaks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Kingston Township at Cloverdale Legion Park. One in particular -- Kevin Neal. Upon being called out on strikes, the Oaks third baseman 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 Neal 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 Neal 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 Neal for 4 games. So far this year Neal has hit .298 with 11 home runs, 26 RBIs and 16 runs scored. |
