2016 - The Commissioner's
office overturns the two-game suspension handed to Dodgers IF Chase
Utley for a dangerous slide that
injured the Mets' Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS.
The decision is because the rules regarding
sliding at the time were too vague; they have since been strengthened.
3/6/2016 Major League Baseball drops Chase Utley’s two-game suspension. Utley was initially suspended for breaking Rubén Tejada’s leg in the 2015 NLDS but MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre stated that “there wasn't anything clear-cut to say that play violated a rule.” pic.twitter.com/AjW7k83nww
