Castejón Gets 3-Game Suspension Friday, July 19th , 2047 Nolensville left fielder José Castejón has been suspended for 3 games for an on-field tirade with an umpire that left Castejón standing in his socks. He was ejected from the Knights-Milton game for disputing a strike call. Castejón let fly with a flurry of expletives, threw down his bat and hat, then went nose-to-nose with the umpire, bobbing his head and screaming. He turned to kick the dirt around home plate, ripped off his shoe and showed it to the umpire, then pulled back his sleeve and shoved his armpit toward the umpire's face. Castejón continued to argue, kicking off his other shoe. Another umpire stepped between them. After slamming the second shoe down, the irate player went over to the Knights dugout, fished out a batting doughnut from a bag, then paired it with another to make a mock pair of eyeglasses before slamming both weights down. The tour de farce ended after several minutes of confrontation. Castejón finally retrieved his bat, shouted a few more choice words and walked into the dugout. A bat boy retrieved his shoes and hat...and his eyeglasses, too. Castejón did not return a message seeking comment today. So far on the season Castejón is hitting .318 with 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has 50 hits and played in 40 games. |
