Peter; "Fines often are reduced on appeal. Earlier this year, an arbitrator cut John Rocker's suspension from 28 days to 14 days and his fine was reduced from $20,000 to $500".

Who said on this bb that Clemmens should expect the same? Who cares? $500 is Chump change!

"Clemens and the players' association have seven days to appeal the decision to Paul Beeston's chief operating officer.... who as President of the Toronto Blue Jays, signed Clemens to a $24.75 MILLION, three-year contract after the 1996 season." "While Clemens makes millions of dollars, he may not have to pay anything. In baseball, teams ofter pay fines levied against thier players."
