BOSTON _ Red Sox first baseman Sean Casey has dropped his appeal and will begin to serve his suspension tonight. Center fielder Coco Crisp also had his appeal heard and no decision has been made yet.
Both players were involved in a bench-clearing brawl with the Tampa Bay Rays on June 5 at Fenway Park. Crisp was suspended for seven games, pitcher Jon Lester for five games and Casey for three games. Lester already served his suspension.
The appeals were heard this afternoon via a web conference.
“I’ve never been in one before, but everything went fine,” said Crisp. “Is there any news? No. I should probably hear in a few days. There’s really nothing to talk about now, because I don’t have any information.”
