League Suspends Ruidoso's Trainor Friday, June 22nd , 2068 The Ruidoso Osos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Tucson at Gabrielle Field at Legion Park. One in particular -- Jason Trainor. Upon being called out on strikes, the Osos 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 Trainor 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 Trainor 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 Trainor for 4 games. Trainor is batting at a .233 pace this season, picking up 24 hits in 103 at-bats with 6 home runs, 15 RBIs and 18 runs scored. |
