Wright Given 2-Game Suspension Monday, September 11th, 2028 The San Francisco Giants were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Washington at AT&T Park. One in particular -- Joel Wright. Upon being called out on strikes, the Giants third baseman 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 Wright 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 Wright 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 Wright for 2 games. Currently Wright has 2 home runs and a .274 batting average. |
