High Desert SS Will Miss 4 Games, Suspended by League Friday, June 22nd, 2029 The High Desert Mavericks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Visalia at Stater Bros. Stadium. One in particular -- Jorge Serrano. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mavericks shortstop 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 Serrano 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 Serrano 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 Serrano for 4 games. For the year Serrano is batting .248 with 5 home runs, 22 RBIs and 26 runs scored. |
