Cross and Mitchell Suspended 4 Games Saturday, September 14th , 2052 In an announcement today, the league informed Greg Cross of Spokane and Rob Mitchell of Tucson that they both had been suspended 4 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Cross 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. "Cross is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." So far this season Cross is hitting .249 with 9 home runs, 94 RBIs and 55 runs scored. He has 137 hits in 551 at-bats and a .319 OBP. For the season Mitchell has 1 save, tossed 55.1 innings, fanned 75 batters and produced an ERA of 5.53. He has also been credited with 1 win and 4 losses. |
