 | Saturday, August 5th, 2028: Blow Suspended by League
Arizona center fielder Roy Blow was ejected in the game between the Diamondbacks and Cubs for letting loose a profanity-laced tirade against the home plate umpire after some calls didn't go the way he wanted. Blow was incensed in the loss to Chicago (N) and was just as angry after the game.
"These guys are a joke. How can people expect to take this game seriously when you have games like this?" Blow said in the locker room after the game.
Now Blow must face the consequences of this actions. League officials released this brief statement to the media: "We are regretful that Blow has taken this to the level that it has reached. The league will not tolerate this type of conduct. Due to his actions during and after the game, the league is suspending him for 2 games."
Posting a .236 batting average to date, Blow has 3 home runs and 32 RBIs. |
