The punish ment could include tines and suspensions. Batters Are sometimes accused of inserting Cork or Metal into a Bat in order to increase their Power and Bat Speed. Johnson hit his 27th Home run of the season in the second inning of the new York my 7-6 Victory Over Chicago on thursday night and his Bat confiscated by the umpires. Last thursday in St. Louis the cardinals asked for his Bat to be checked after he homered. At the Lime St. Louis manager Whiley Herzog said he looks like babe ruin up there and i know he Ain t that prior to this year the acts third base Man s career High was 12 homers in 1984 for Detroit. To me this is silly Johnson said. If they re trying to catch me they Are wasting their Crew chief John Kibler inspected Johnson s Bat after it was Given to him by Home plate Umpire Charlie Williams Kibler ordered it taken to the umpires dressing room and Johnson did not use the Bat in his next plate appearance. Cubs manager Gene Michael claimed he had nothing to do with the confiscation. That came from the league to the Umpire he said. I heard that they re going to do some random checking and i think we need some More of that. This stuff has been going on for a Long when Chicago slugger Andre Dawson baited in the fourth Davey Johnson asked for the Bat to be checked but Wil Liams refused. Dawson then hit a Home ran his second of the game. The Rule slates if an Umpire sees any thing wrong with the Bat or suspects anything wrong he can take it out of the game Davey Johnson said. There s another directive any bal can be taken out of the game. He the Umpire does t have to think it s suspicious you can just take it out of the game. I asked him Williams docs anything look suspicious and he said no. I said i want to Check some of their bats. I said i want one of Dawson s bats checked out. He Williams said no and i said was playing the game under pro if he wants Davey Johnson can ask for Dawson s or any other player s Bat to be checked tonight and the Crew chief will have to do it. I Don t think Dawson corks his Bat or anything Tike Davey Johnson just thought that if my Guy has is favorite Bat taken away without reason then i want one of their Guys to lose his favorite Bat too. To me the umpires showed preferential treatment umpires also recently confiscated the Bat of los Angeles Dodgen outfielder Pedro Guerrero. After sawing off the end of the bal the umpires ruled that it was Legal. Last thursday National league presi Dent a. Bartlett Giamatti issued a Bulle tin to All no teams reminding them that the use of an illegal Bat could result i fines and suspensions to the offending players and managers. "1 certainly would t condone any of my hitlers doctoring up a Bat. And As far a i know none of them Are doing it acts batting coach Dill Robinson said. I d be very disappointed in them if they were.
