N.L. Gets Beanball Warning

NEW YORK — National League President Bart Giamatti warned all teams in the league today that he will take severe measures, including suspensions, against players involved in “acts clearly intended to maim or injure another player.”

Reacting to the rash of beanball incidents in both leagues, Giamatti, the former Yale University president, sent a message to all National League team presidents, general managers and managers with the warning against “throwing intentionally at a batter’s head, fighting on the field, or sliding with a ‘rolling block.’ ”
