Border Cats Péruz Suspended 4 Games Wednesday, July 7th, 2066 The Tanggu Border Cats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Port Alberni at Border Cats Stadium. One in particular -- Travis Péruz. Upon being called out on strikes, the Border Cats 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 Péruz 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 Péruz 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 Péruz for 4 games. Péruz is hitting .228 this year with 5 home runs and 20 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .337, 35 walks and scored 27 times. |
