Snappers Sylvis Suspended Thursday, July 28th , 2061 The Beloit Snappers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Clinton at Harry C. Pohlman Field. One in particular -- Billy Sylvis. Upon being called out on strikes, the Snappers second baseman 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 Sylvis 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 Sylvis 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 Sylvis for 3 games. Sylvis on the season is hitting .281 with 13 home runs. His stats include 55 RBIs and 46 runs scored. |
