  • Incident occurs in Cinci train station, Malone is fined...
  • But only Wilson is suspended-- for the rest of the season!
  • 1931 a terrible year for Hack, right from the very start!
  • NL deadens ball to cut down homers!
  • His manager won't let him swing whenever he wants!
  • At time of suspension he's batting .261, only 13 homers!

    • Wilson's penalty seems harsh but he'd been out of control for much of the season:

  • Umps eject him from game in New York a few days earlier!
  • He refuses to leave, teammates have to drag him off field!  
  • Team President Veeck and owner Wrigley are in the stands!
