Personally I think Barrett got off easy with only ten games. I read of other incidents where players hit one another and were given as much as sixteen game suspensions.

Respectfully,
FEARLESS BEAR

BARRETT SUSPENSION UPHELD:

Major League Baseball has upheld Michael Barrett’s 10-game suspension and fine for his actions on May 20 against the White Sox … his suspension will begin tonight.

I saw the original Bleacher Bums way back when in the theatre. Looks like it has been updated.

Play gives Cubs, Sox a postseason

October 11, 2006

Originally written by members of Chicago's Organic Theatre Company including Dennis ("NYPD Blue") Franz and Joe (any movie David Mamet ever made) Montegna, the piece premiered back in 1977. Since then, it's been revised and updated countless times to feature various teams and reflect current line-ups.

Oak Park's Scott Dunnell updated the piece for Open Door, making sure to include the infamous incident this past season when Cubs catcher Michael Barrett punched Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski in the side of the head after Pierzynski ran Barrett down at the plate.
