Red Sox C Greene Suspended 2 Games Saturday, August 23rd, 1997 The Boston Red Sox were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Chicago at Wrigley Field. One in particular -- Todd Greene. Upon being called out on strikes, the Red Sox catcher 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 Greene 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 Greene 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 Greene for 2 games. Greene currently has a .175 batting average with 65 hits, 19 homers, 41 RBIs, 46 runs scored and a .198 OBP. |
