Cowens plans return to Chicago with team
Detroit outfielder Al Cowens says he will travel with the Tigers to Chicago in late August despite a Chicago warrant for his arrest. He will work out with the team but cannot be in the dugout during games due to a seven game suspension from AL President Lee MacPhail after last week’s brawl with White Sox pitcher Ed Farmer. White Sox owner Bill Veeck filed assault charges, angered by the bench clearing incident.
