League KO's Giants-Diamondbacks Players with 8-Game Suspensions Thursday, September 9th, 2066 Baseball confrontations occasionally get intense and sometimes that tension becomes too much and boils over into more than just words. This time it happened to San Francisco's Jaime Rivera and Arizona's Doug Allen. The two were the main participants in a fight that cleared the benches. Today both were suspended by the league for 8 games for their aggressive actions. "I hope things settle down now," the manager of the Diamondbacks said later. "There's no reason for us to be locked in a cycle of revenge. We all need to focus on baseball instead." For the year Rivera is batting .230 with 65 hits and 1 home run. He has scored 31 times and driven in 30. This season Allen has registered 7 wins and 16 losses in 31 starts with a 5.10 ERA. |
