More of Crazy Kenny Rogers
It appears that Kenny Rogers is getting what he deserves. MLB suspended the Texas Rangers pitcher for 20 games and fined him $50,000 for his recent outburst against two television photographers. The players' union filed an appeal on his behalf. So, he can keep pitching until the appeal is heard.
I hope that appeal is unsuccessful. The players' union should stay out of this, anyway. Rogers was completely out of line. There was no excuse for him shoving the photographers and damaging one of the cameras. He should be happy the suspension is only 20 games.
No word yet on whether criminal charges will be filed. I hope they are. Players have to learn they can't get away with doing whatever they choose.
