On this day in 2013 Major League Baseball was dealt another
bad hand and another black eye as we all watched the Biogenesis scandal unravel
before our eyes. On this day Major League Baseball released the names of the 13
players that had been suspended for their involvement with the anti-aging
clinic. The Yankees Alex Rodriguez was suspended for 211 regular season games
while Francisco Cervelli of the Yankees was suspended for 50 games.
Also on this day in 2007 Mike Mussina won his 246th career game making him the winningest pitcher in major league history without a 20 win season. Mussina would finally reach the 20 win plateau in his final season in 2008 when he finished with a 20-9 record.
Finally on this day in 1983 the Yankees manager Billy Martin was suspended for two games after calling umpire Dale Ford a "stone liar" after the July 31st extra inning victory over the Chicago White Sox. This marks the second time this season that Martin was disciplined by the league due to abuse of umpires.
