Garza, Pérez Receive 3-Game Suspensions
In an announcement today, the league informed <José Garza:player#5628> of <Hoboken:team#55> and <Oliver Pérez:player#6374> of <Ottawa:team#52> that they both had been suspended 3 games for fighting in a recent game.

The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league."

<Garza:player#5628> wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment."

His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "<Garza:player#5628> is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime."

For the year <Garza:player#5628> is batting .256 with 41 hits and 8 home runs. He has scored 22 times and driven in 24.
