Irate Schmidt Suspended 2 Games

Tuesday, August 8th, 1905: Brooklyn third baseman Mike Schmidt was ejected in the game between the Superbas and Cardinals for letting loose a profanity-laced tirade against the home plate umpire after some calls didn't go the way he wanted. Schmidt was incensed in the loss to St. Louis and was just as angry after the game.

"These guys are a joke. How can people expect to take this game seriously when you have games like this?" Schmidt said in the locker room after the game.

Now Schmidt must face the consequences of this actions. League officials released this brief statement to the media: "We are regretful that Schmidt has taken this to the level that it has reached. The league will not tolerate this type of conduct. Due to his actions during and after the game, the league is suspending him for 2 games."

So far this season Schmidt has put up a .286 batting average with 112 hits, 16 home runs and 58 RBIs.
