| Breaking News |  | Friday, July 25th, 1958: League Suspends Bisuet
The Reading Rabbits were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's 2-0 loss to Hazelton at Ballpark of Reading. One in particular -- Raúl Bisuet. Upon being called out on strikes, the Rabbits first 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 Bisuet 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 Bisuet 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 all of his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Bisuet for 3 games.
So far this season Bisuet is batting .240 with 9 home runs, 42 RBIs and 30 runs scored. He has 55 hits in 229 at-bats, 15 walks and a .304 OBP. Bisuet has played in 88 games.

 | Monday, July 14th, 1958: Streak Finally Over, Caravaca Hitless
It was the best of both worlds for the Reading Rabbits today at Ballpark of Lancaster as they defeated the Lancaster Churns 8-3 and also ended Jairo Caravaca's 20-game hitting streak. The 24-year-old Lancaster shortstop failed to get a hit in 4 at-bats.
"Nothing personal against Jairo, we just wanted to win the game," said the victorious Rabbits skipper. "We did a great job keeping him off-balance and guessing."
When asked by reporters about his streak coming to an end, Caravaca frowned and said, "I won't lie and say that I'm not disappointed about my streak ending, but I would feel much better about things if we had won the game."
So far this season Caravaca is hitting .303 with 2 home runs, 24 RBIs and 35 runs scored. He has 57 hits in 188 at-bats and a .421 OBP.
