Seattle first baseman Richie Sexson has been suspended for six games for charging the mound Thursday night. Texas pitcher Kason Gabbard was not fined or suspended. Seattle pitcher Felix Hernandez was also fined as were Rangers catcher Gerald Laird and pitcher Sidney Ponson.
Sexson should have gotten a few more games than that just for being a dumbass.
Thanks Foul Territory.
You couldn’t be more right. Sexons’ actions were childish and completely uncalled for. I think 10 games sounds like a more fitting punishment. I mean, I grew up playing baseball and have pitches throw closer to my head than that and not once did I ever think that I was being thrown at. Just stupid. But hey, be sure you thank Richie Sexson…he made his teams bad play look even worse. Way to go Rich.
