Clubhouse Shenanigans May Cost Cleveland Players
Sunday, August 23rd, 1896: Cleveland teammates Jim McCormick and Charlie Hodnett are in hot water with manager Bill Murphy for a series of pranks aimed at other teammates and at one another. "These guys are adults," said the Spiders skipper. "And they're supposed to be professionals. Why they're acting like a couple of clowns is beyond me." According to Murphy, both players will be fined if the behavior continues. McCormick, however, doesn't understand why his manager is getting all worked up. "We're just having a little fun, blowing off some steam. He doesn't need to call us out in public. And fining us would be taking it way too far." Hodnett was slightly more diplomatic. "It's embarrasing to be singled out like that. I guess I need to take things a little more seriously from now."
