Torre, Proctor Suspended
Quote:
Yankees reliever Scott Proctor was suspended for four games and manager Joe Torre was suspended for one game as a result of an incident in Sunday's game, Major League Baseball announced Monday.
Proctor was ejected in the seventh inning of Sunday's game for throwing a pitch intentionally at the Mariners' Yuniesky Betancourt. Because of prior events in the game that prompted home-plate umpire Mike Everitt to warn both benches, Torre was also ejected from the contest.
Torre, 66, served his suspension on Monday, with bench coach Don Mattingly serving as the Yankees' manager. Proctor, who also received a $1,500 fine, has decided to appeal the suspension.
"Sometimes emotion gets the best of us," Torre said. "Scotty's heart was in the right place. Unfortunately, we're going to lose him for a period of time. It's tough for me to get angry with someone who felt he was protecting his people." |
