If I didn't see it, I would not have believed it!
Friend pointed it out again, and I think it's worthy of a post.
Hunter Strickland was suspended for six games (several too few in my opinion!) for nailing Bryce Harper in the hip and then fighting him -- a clear retaliation for getting lit up during the 2014 National League playoffs between Harper's Nationals and Strickland's Giants.
Strickland has appealed, and the date for that is June 13th.
MLB, in it's INFINITE WISDOM, tried THIS for the unsuspecting public... (Deadspin)
The game was on Memorial Day, and MLB trotted out GOD AWFUL UGLY uniforms of almost every team with camo on them and everything military.
So they tried to auction off Strickland's jersey -- with full denotation of the incident!! -- on it's official auction site!
Well, there's another thing that's official about Major League Baseball...
As we've suspected a while now, MLB wants this game to become more violent, football-intense, anything to get people to care about it a little more and The National Religion a little less...
No wonder plunkings and angry discussions are on the uptick....
