League Suspends Jensen 4 Games Friday, May 1st, 1970 The agitation was hot and heavy at Mastadons Ballpark yesterday. After a called third strike Mastadons left fielder Matt Jensen protested the call in no uncertain terms. While he and the home plate umpire were jawing face-to-face, a few bumps took place and Jensen was ejected from the game. "It was verbal, nothing more," according to Jensen. However, the league frowned on what transpired and suspended him for 4 games. "The league will never tolerate a player touching an umpire in anger," the commissioner said in the suspension notification. This year Jensen is hitting at a .388 pace with 1 home run and 16 RBIs. He has played in 27 games and scored 24 times. |
