Turner Suspended Braves Owner Calls Kuhn Decision Crazed
Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner says he should be committed for a cocktail party joke that led to a one year suspension by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. The ruling stems from Turner’s remark to San Francisco’s Bob Lurie about Gary Matthews during last fall’s World Series. Turner plans to seek legal counsel but won’t appeal.
