Message #4484 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Reedster   Subject :   Torii Hunter gifted the Royals with champagne this year because of theur sweep of the Tigers late last year that sealed the Twins' playoff appearance. But, there's a slight problem. Date :   4/24/07, 10:19am This is against the MLB rules... he is supposed to face a three year suspension for this act, which -- OF COURSE -- is silly. An exception should be made here. Who is behind this silly mess? That same blog that tried to convince the world that Krod was cheating. Someone screw up this guy's harddrive or something. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4484 • Back to Topics 3744 reads 1508 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!

But, there's a slight problem. Date :   4/24/07, 11:06pm I think that MLB should look at the incident and decide no harm no foul and let it go at that. They should also amend the rule to give them an out in case a similar incident happens in the future. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4485 • Back to Topics 4647 reads

But, there's a slight problem. Date :   4/26/07, 7:34am In all honesty, doesn't the MLB have bigger fish to fry then worry about gifts amongst each team? Sure, I understand that he broke the rules, and rules are rules, but I they shouldn't make a big stink about it. And yeah, 3 years is WAY to much to pay. How about fine them the amount of the "gift" and tack on an extra 50k or something? It looks like it will be a no harm no foul, because KC is returning the bubbly. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4490 • Back to Topics 4644 reads
