League Issues 5-Game Suspensions for Brawl Tuesday, September 24th, 2019 In an announcement today, the league informed Millard Carr of Spokane and Jim Unknown of Murfreesboro that they both had been suspended 5 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Carr wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment." His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "Carr is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." Carr on the season is hitting .203 with 4 home runs. His stats include 38 RBIs and 53 runs scored. |
