League Suspends Cardinals Logsdon 4 Games: Jim Logsdon's disrobing act in yesterday's loss to the Chicago Cubs at Spring Ballpark cost him a 4-game suspension. The league office informed the St. Louis Cardinals today that their third baseman would be suspended for "his poor conduct and unacceptable behavior that made a farce out of the game."
After being called out on strikes, Logsdon was ejected by the home plate umpire after a heated and animated discussion. In protest for the ejection, he proceeded to throw his bat down, take off his batting gloves, cap, shirt, socks and shoes and left them at home plate, refusing to pick them up.
Asked about the suspension, Logsdon sheepishly told reporters, "I did a stupid and embarrassing thing. Let's just leave it at that."
