McLain sanctioned by Kuhn over bookmaking affair
New York UPI report notes baseball world stunned as Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspends Denny McLain for three additional months for off the field gambling links in 1967. McLain, 26, admits guilt but says the punishment is too harsh and believes he did not harm baseball as much as others claim. He will be eligible to pitch for the Detroit Tigers on July 1, following a prior indefinite suspension.
