4-Game Suspension for Kawauso Yokoi Sunday, August 9th , 1914 Akinori Yokoi of the Matsuyama Kawauso became belligerent after a third-strike call in the game against Yamatokoriyama yesterday at Yamatokoriyama Fields. Today, the Kawauso shortstop addressed his battle with the umps and the ejection that resulted in a 4-game suspension by the league. Yokoi said the league report submitted to the league by the umpiring crew did not tell whole story. "They conveniently left out the names they called me." In a statement the league said the suspension was because Yokoi returned to the field after the first argument had subsided. This season, Yokoi is batting .298 with 1 home run. He has scored 34 runs and driven in 59. |
