 | Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl Monday, February 21st, 1972 At a recent Tigers-Cyclones contest at Snobs Ballpark, Jamie Bean of Missouri took exception to what Chris Bertron of Iowa State said to him and tackled him. This led to an old-fashioned bench-clearing free-for-all between the two clubs. After the umpires restored order, they ejected both players. Today the league commissioner's office took action and suspended each player for 9 games, citing them for "inappropriate and aggressive conduct." To date Bean has chalked up a .244 average with no home runs, driven in 7 runs and scored 14 times. To date this year, Bertron shows a 2-2 record, 5 starts, 24 innings, 19 strikeouts and a 6.38 ERA. |   |
