In August 2010, Nyjer Morgan of the Washington Nationals was suspended for throwing a baseball into the stands in Philadelphia, hitting a fan. Rendon’s agent, Scott Boras, told Times columnist Dylan Hernández that the league “needs to address stadium security” and “this is the only stadium in Major League Baseball where fans have access to players after games.” The Rangers manager at the time of Francisco’s incident in 2004, Buck Showalter - now the manager of the New York Mets - also pointed out the Coliseum’s security back then. Bradley got a five-game suspension for throwing a plastic bottle into the stands and yelling expletives at fans.
Francisco received 16 games for throwing a folding chair into the crowd at Oakland Coliseum. In September 2004, the league suspended Frank Francisco of the Texas Rangers and Milton Bradley of the Dodgers for separate incidents with fans. The cause for Rendon’s suspension this season is not unprecedented, as the league has suspended players for incidents with fans.
Last season, the league suspended him for five games for his involvement in a brawl with the Seattle Mariners while he was on the injured list recovering from wrist surgery. This is the second time in two seasons that Rendon has been suspended. … He’s a great leader on our team and he has accepted responsibility as a good leader.” “This doesn’t at all change how I feel about him as a person. “He’s remorseful for everything that happened,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said Monday of Rendon. Rendon said Monday that after he returned to the clubhouse Thursday and changed out of his jersey, he went back out to the stands to try to apologize, but the fan had left. Rendon responded, “Yeah, you did” several times before releasing the shirt, freeing the fan to pull back from the railing as Rendon took an open-handed swipe at the bill of the fan’s hat and said, “Get the f- out of here.”
Yeah, you called me a b-, huh?” The fan repeatedly shook his head and said “it wasn’t me” while his chest was pinned against the stadium railing as Rendon kept pulling his shirt. In one video of the incident, Rendon could be heard asking the fan, “What did you say?. “I can’t be mad, right? I’m a fan of other sports.
