Announcement
The fines/suspensions of 2 NRWBL were upheld in a emergency board meeting during last weeks games. In a statement released by Kennesaw mountain Luzon "It pains me to say this but the board has voted to uphold the suspensions of Mike Sidoti and Scott Murphy. It is clearly stated in the rules that the breaking of NRWBL equipment will result in a minimum 1 game suspension, or more if more severe. In the case of Mr Sidoti, we weighed a possible longer suspension due to the fact we can not play if we do not have a strikezone. Mr Sidoti was gracious enough to build a superior, Mike Sidoti-proof strikezone which cost more than the $50 fine so the board has agreed to waive the fine. Based upon the evidence, previous precedent and the previous behavior of Mr Sidoti this year, the suspension of 1 game has been upheld and will be enforced tonight. Mr Murphy appealed his suspension/fine however failed to show up to his hearing later that night for breaking a bat. Based upon the evidence and prior precedent, the Board voted to uphold his 1 game suspension and that will also be enforced tonight. Mr Murphy has already paid a fine of $20 however reportedly has found a replacement bat. If bat is found to be acceptable as a replacement, the $20 fine will be refunded. Let this be a lesson to all NRWBL players that this is a serious issue and will be dealt with accordingly. The Board's responsibilty is to protect this League and it players and to make sure the integrity and best interests of the NRWBL are kept. We can not risk losing the gym because of a momentary lapse of judgement and more importantly getting on of our players hurt. I dont think we need to remind anyone what happened on a nearby golf course when a club went flying thru the air"
