Steinbrenner Fined by AL Over Umpire Remarks after Loss
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was fined by the American League for criticizing home plate umpire Ted Hendry after Cleveland's 4-1 win in Game 2 of the AL Championship Series. Budig defended the umpiring crew and confirmed no Hendry fine, while Steinbrenner argued the league should oversee umpires and called calls “atrocious” on both sides. The AL had previously fined the Yankees 25,000 for media access violations.
