Monroeville Loses CF Miller, Suspended by League
Sunday, July 13th , 2053
The agitation was hot and heavy at ACKC Youth Field yesterday. After a called third strike Yinzers center fielder Roger Miller protested the call in no uncertain terms. While he and the home plate umpire were jawing face-to-face, a few bumps took place and Miller was ejected from the game.
"It was verbal, nothing more," according to Miller. However, the league frowned on what transpired and suspended him for 3 games.
"The league will never tolerate a player touching an umpire in anger," the commissioner said in the suspension notification.
Thus far in 2053 Miller is hitting .176 with 4 home runs, 14 RBIs, 8 runs scored and has compiled a .210 OBP.
