Mariners Outfielder Victor Robles Has Meltdown, Threw His Bat At Pitcher

I remember seeing that also. It’s also in Year In Review edition of World Book Encylopedia.

Happened in post season play in 72 or 73. Oakland A’s shortstop Bert Campy Campeneris threw his bad like a helicopter at the opposing pitcher. I know he did not get suspended.

But a ball to the face is allowed?

yes, that was a nasty crazy pitch

One is most likely an accident and the other was not. A big suspension has to come if you purposefully throw a bat at another player.
