NEW YORK (AP) - Baseball commissioner Kuhn stunned Mets fans today during a New York press conference that was held earlier this afternoon. The press conference which had been called to announce the decision on the George Foster corked bat incident, was prompt and to the point. Kuhn, was also prompt and to the point in saying, "Major League Baseball will not tolerate such manipulation of any piece of equipment in any fashion, and as a result we have today decided that Mr. Foster is to serve a 10-game suspension from all major league play, for the New York Mets."
When asked later to further talk about the decision, Commissioner Kuhn declined to comment. Mets general manager Frank Cashen had something else to say on the matter, "Personally, I think that this is a bit stiff of a suspension, but, I do understand the league's stance on such matters. The fans won't be happy with this as George was supposed to get this team off to a good start this season, and contribute to a run at our division."
