Yard Goats Santor Suspended 3 Games Friday, November 11th , 2044 The Hartford Yard Goats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Hickory at New Britain Stadium. One in particular -- Bobby Santor. Upon being called out on strikes, the Yard Goats first 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 Santor 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 Santor 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 Santor for 3 games. This season Santor is batting .288 with 88 hits and 17 home runs. He has scored 65 times and has 65 RBI. |
