Major League Baseball on Monday suspended Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon for five games for his altercation with a fan at the Oakland Coliseum.
— in a video that was widely circulated the following day — grabbing the shirt of a fan in the stands and cursing at him as the team walked back to the clubhouse from the field.
The suspension begins with the Angels’ game Monday night in Seattle, unless he appeals. Rendon also was fined an undisclosed amount. This is the second time in two seasons that Rendon has been suspended. Last season, the league suspended the third baseman for five games for his involvement in a brawl with the Seattle Mariners while he was on the injured list recovering from wrist surgery.The cause for Rendon’s suspension this season is not unprecedented, as the league has suspended players in the past for incidents with fans.
In September of 2004, the league suspended Frank Francisco of the Texas Rangers and Milton Bradley of the Dodgers for separate incidents with fans.
