League Suspends University of South Carolina SS Lacosta Sunday, December 31st , 2045 The University of South Carolina Gamecocks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Stanford University at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond. One in particular -- Salvador Lacosta. Upon being called out on strikes, the Gamecocks 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 Lacosta 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 Lacosta 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 Lacosta for 3 games. This year Lacosta is hitting .317 with 111 hits, 2 home runs, 38 RBIs and has scored 65 runs. |
