Midland 2B Will Miss 2 Games, Suspended by League Monday, August 6th, 2018 The Midland RockHounds were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Mobile at Security Bank Ballpark. One in particular -- Trey Hair. Upon being called out on strikes, the RockHounds 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 Hair 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 Hair 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 Hair for 2 games. For the season Hair has produced 60 hits in 271 at-bats for a .221 average with 8 home runs and gotten on base at a .317 clip. |
