Davis Gets 3-Game Suspension
Friday, May 25th , 2001
The Kenosha Comets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Roanake at BBT_Coastal_field. One in particular -- Walter Davis. Upon being called out on strikes, the Comets left 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 Davis 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 Davis 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 Davis for 3 games.
This year, Davis is batting .267 with 43 hits, 1 home run, 10 RBIs, 11 walks, .330 OBP and has scored 22 runs.
