League Suspends Ping 2 Games Sunday, July 6th , 2042 The Calgary Stampede were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at Ballpark of Calgary against the Medicine Hat Drillers, Stampede third baseman Bao-qing Ping was ejected by the home plate umpire after he vociferously questioned a third-strike call. The commissioner's office issued a 2-game suspension, saying the league would not tolerate a player behaving in that manner. The disgruntled Ping refused to leave the field and kicked dirt on the umpire's shoes. His manager tried to keep him away from the umpire and physically had to remove him to the dugout with the help of the two other coaches. Reached for comment after getting the suspension notice, Ping said he was too disgusted to talk about it. Thus far this season, Ping is hitting .189 with 6 home runs, 16 RBIs and 11 runs scored. He has 20 hits in 106 at-bats and has played in 34 games. |
