NEW YORK -- Seattle Mariners right fielder Keon Broxton has been suspended for two games by Major League Baseball for throwing a batting glove that hit an umpire after striking out looking.

MLB handed down the suspension and undisclosed fine Tuesday, a day after the 29-year-old Broxton was ejected for the first time in his career.

Broxton threw his bat down, flipped his helmet off and threw one of his batting gloves behind him after a disputed third strike call in the second inning of Monday night's 5-4 loss to the New York Yankees. The batting glove sailed right toward plate umpire Manny Gonzalez.

The league says Broxton is appealing the discipline, meaning he is allowed to play until the process is complete.

Broxton said he was expecting a fine but was surprised at the suspension. He was not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

"That's their decision. I'm going to do whatever I can to appeal it and see what happens. But definitely shocked," Broxton said.

Jesus, how ridiculous. It was obviously an accident and a batting glove is hardly a lethal weapon.

What's the big deal? The ump was already blind.

Ha, maybe you can loan him your eye patch.

He tossed his glove in the direction of the ump, maybe without the intention of hitting him. Nevertheless, the longer he is out of the batting order, the better. Sorry Keon...

Fine should have been enough. This is ludicrous.

And Millikin’s comment should be enshrined in the forum ‘Hall of Flame’.

Honestly this is what some of the umps deserve:

Umpires are the worst part of the game.

Meh. Buhner’s was farther.

Gotta hand it to Moore, he’s been a Model of Consistency, ranging from .198 to .203 all year!
