The Netherlands Loses 2B van Oort, Suspended by League
Sunday, February 2nd , 2048
The Netherlands's Koen van Oort made contact with the home plate umpire during a dispute in the game with the South Korea yesterday and he will have to pay for it. van Oort violently disagreed when he was called out on strikes. During the intense discussion he bumped chests with the umpire and was immediately tossed out of the game. Today the league commissioner gave him a 2-game suspension.
Still steamed by it, van Oort told BNN, "I think the ump bumped me and he is the one who should be suspended. I'm going to appeal this sucker."
In 5 games this season van Oort has compiled a .421 batting average with 8 hits and no home runs. He has also scored 8 times and knocked in 6 runs.
