Letter to the Editor: No more fighting

Dear Editor,

In a lot of sports these days, violence is getting out of hand, especially baseball. When a pitcher throws a pitch and hits the batter, or goes behind the batter, it sometimes causes arguments or brawls. For example, Sept. 15, the Toronto Blue Jays came to play the New York Yankees. Jesse Carlson had thrown behind Jorge Posada, who later elbowed him while crossing the plate.

In the end, the Yankees' manager got a bloody ear and pitcher Jesse Carlson got a purple welt on his forehead. When the team is doing really well, the last thing you want to see is fighting or arguing, it could lead to a suspension.
