When MLB investigated the benches-clearing incident between the White Sox and Royals, umpires and players from both teams said Tim Anderson used a racially charged word, sources tell ESPN. Anderson received a one-game suspension from the incident, per sources., the pitcher who drilled Anderson to prompt the situation, five games and White Sox manager Rick Renteria one game. All parties have also received undisclosed fines.
During Wednesday's matchup, Anderson drilled a long home run to left-centre field and passionately threw his bat toward the White Sox dugout before rounding the bases. In his next plate appearance in the sixth inning, Anderson was hit, prompting the incident. Anderson did not appear to make a move toward Keller before both teams rushed onto the field. “I get the old-school vibe, but this is the new school. We’re going to try and switch the vibe.
The decision to suspend Anderson comes after the league appeared to praise his bat flip from their official Twitter account two days ago, writing"Keep doing your thing" followed by Anderson's handle with the hashtag #LetTheKidsPlay.
