Rowdy Players Suspended by League Friday, August 27th, 1993 In an announcement today, the league informed Joseph Parker of Park City (C) and Clyde Henderson of Liberty (C) that they both had been suspended 2 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Parker 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. "Parker is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." Parker has a .294 average and a .354 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 115 hits, 23 home runs and driven in 70 runs. This year Henderson has compiled a 8-10 mark with a 5.06 ERA. |
