 | Palm Bay's Casimiro Suspended 3 Games Wednesday, November 30th, 2044 The Palm Bay Aviators were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at Oxnard Grounds against the Miami Mounties, Aviators first baseman Fernando Casimiro was ejected by the home plate umpire after he vociferously questioned a third-strike call. The commissioner's office issued a 3-game suspension, saying the league would not tolerate a player behaving in that manner. The disgruntled Casimiro refused to leave the field and kicked dirt on the umpire's shoes. His manager tried to keep him away from the umpire and physically had to remove him to the dugout with the help of the two other coaches. Reached for comment after getting the suspension notice, Casimiro said he was too disgusted to talk about it. Casimiro has a .371 average and a .450 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 26 hits, 10 home runs and driven in 28 runs. |   |
