League Gives Wilson 2-Game Suspension Tuesday, May 8th , 2001 The Milwaukee Brewers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to St. Louis at Miller Park 2020. One in particular -- Bill D Wilson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Brewers center 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 Wilson 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 Wilson 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 Wilson for 2 games. This year, Wilson has 3 home runs and a .188 batting average. |
