Ugly Incident Ends in 4-Game Suspension Saturday, July 23rd , 1955 Hassle an umpire and you will have to pay the consequences. Just ask Providence A third baseman Tim Pond. He argued to excess over a third strike yesterday in the Providence A-Los Angeles A game at Brooklyn AAA Stadium. Today the league office notified Pond that he had been given a 4-game suspension for his egregious conduct. Luckily the Pilgrims manager and the bench coach intervened physically and removed him from the field. Otherwise it might have gotten even worse. So far this season, Pond has gotten 69 hits in 237 at-bats for a .291 batting average with 8 home runs. His stats include 44 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has played in 70 games. |
