 | Bel Air-Whitewater Free-for-All Gets 6-Game Suspensions Thursday, July 19th, 2012: The league commissioner announced that two players had been suspended for inappropriate conduct. He told BNN, "What I'm trying to do with these penalties is say, we can't stop you from doing these things, but if you do them, you have to understand you will pay the consequences." Baseball can be an intense game and on-field confrontations happen. However, the league disciplinary policy is to punish, sometimes severely, those who decide to settle things with their fists. When Dexter Smith of the Bel Air Princes and Bobby Mann of the Whitewater Eagles got into a scuffle during a game, both players knew that a suspension would be forthcoming. Sure enough, today it was announced that both players will each receive a 6-game suspension for their actions in a recent game at Philip Banks Field. This season Smith is batting .248 with 37 RBIs, 37 runs scored and 10 home runs. This year Mann has posted a 4-8 mark in 20 starts and has a 4.43 ERA. |   |
