Severtson Suspended by League Wednesday, August 20th , 2098 The West Virginia Power were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Rome at Appalachian Power Park. One in particular -- Mark Severtson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Power catcher 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 Severtson 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 Severtson told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Severtson for 3 games. Severtson is batting .229 this year with 4 home runs, 25 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has 78 hits in 341 at-bats. |
