Major League Baseball will not punish Justin Turner for returning to the field after the Dodgers World Series victory.
The above contains a statement from Rob Manfred on the investigation, an apology from Justin Turner, and a statement from the Dodgers. Turner’s teammates wanted him to come out for the picture, MLB did not make it clear that he shouldn’t, and there were other miss-communication of facts.
I’ll always love this episode because it gave us the description that Turner “strenuously refused to comply” when asked to leave the on-field celebration.
Makes me laugh every time.
If Vin Scully were on the field, I’d be worried for him. But young men in their physical prime? They are not a target demographic for the Wuhan virus. It is way past time to treat this virus intelligently.
