Tim Anderson plays shortstop for the Chicago White Sox; he is known to hold a Major League record for bashing 9 hits in his first three career games. Unfortunately, the record holder now turned into a suspended player for making helmet to hat contact with home plate umpire Nick Mahrley.
Oakland Athletics played the Chicago White Sox on Friday night, but for Tim Anderson the result was a three-game suspension. Anderson appealed the suspension, making him eligible for the White Sox’s 3-2 win over Oakland on Saturday. He even received a fine, an undisclosed amount for making the contact.
Tim Anderson has rather filed an appeal against the suspension, he was included in the lineup on Saturday and will remain to be an active member of the squad until the appeal is heard. This is not the first time we have seen Tim Anderson being disciplined by the Major League Baseball board. One of his suspensions, a one-game ban was overturned earlier this year.

Tim Anderson’s three game suspension hanging on a thread after appeal
Tim Anderson and manager Tony La Russa were ejected Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics after a heated exchange over a called strike from reliever Domingo Acevedo, for what appeared to be high. The tip of Anderson’s helmet did appear to make contact with Umpire Mahrley.
“I think I saw the umpire moving forward quite a bit, which they’re taught not to do that,” Tony La Russa said. “I didn’t see any contact that I know. Umpires aren’t robots either. They can get emotional and they can get upset. But they’re supposed to be the cooler head. Because if you try to take the emotion out of the game, it’s not entertaining.”
La Russo added, “He got upset. I think you need to allow players to spark, as long as they don’t cross a line. And that thing escalated before Tim did anything. He’s fired up. That’s the way he plays. That’s the way you’re supposed to play. I remember that umpires are human beings, too, and they can get upset. But part of their training is you’ve got to let players be emotional, as long as they don’t get disrespectful or get vulgar.”
