Nike's Wethington Suspended Monday, January 31st , 2056 The Nike Airs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Microsoft at Anchorage College Grounds. One in particular -- George Wethington. Upon being called out on strikes, the Airs right fielder 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 Wethington 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 Wethington told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Wethington for 2 games. This year Wethington has collected a .253 batting average to date with 24 hits in 95 at-bats, 14 RBIs, 4 home runs and scored 13 times. He has played in 28 games. |
