League Suspends Richardson 2 Games Sunday, July 7th, 2041 The Toronto Rush were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Seattle at The Wolves Den. One in particular -- Lawrence Richardson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Rush center fielder 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 Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson for 2 games. This year Richardson is batting .269 with 71 hits and 9 home runs. He has scored 33 times and has batted in 33 runs. |
