MLB Fines White Sox Closer Jenks $750 for Purpose Pitch

$750.

I heard on the radio today that that is equal to about ten percent of a single one of the pitches he throws this year.

What's the point?

Quote:

CLEVELAND -- Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks was fined Tuesday for throwing a pitch behind Texas' Ian Kinsler last weekend.

Major League Baseball imposed the penalty Tuesday. It did not disclose the amount, however a source told ESPNChicago.com that Jenks was fined $750.

"What's done is done," Jenks said. "Hopefully after today, we can get by this and go play some baseball."

Jenks sailed a fastball in back of Kinsler on Saturday. Jenks later said the pitch was intentional because he was tired of watching White Sox batters getting hit with no retaliation.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was relieved his closer avoided a suspension.

"I was pleased. The way baseball is going right now, they're severe about fines and suspending people," Guillen said. "I think they did what they're supposed to do. Hopefully we won't have to deal with this any longer."

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

Jenks was stupid to admit to it. They had to fine him. He could have said it got away from him, even though it was obvious to anyone watching that it was thrown with intention.
