Player Stranded after Cruise Ship Incident
Joe Smith of the Atlanta Braves was stranded in Italy over the All-Star break. A rising star, Smith took a vacation on an Italian cruise over All-Star weekend. During the voyage, Smith became intoxicated and got into a fight with another rowdy passenger. He was removed from the ship and left in Turin, Italy. He has since struggled to find a flight back, and is late to report back to the team. A senior Braves official is quoted as saying that Smith will not be paid while he is not in Atlanta. “I took a cruise on the Costa line. The thing was, all it did was Costa my salary.”
