Bud Busts Reggie

Via George King -

Major League Baseball has ordered Reggie Jackson out of uniform for the remainder of spring training games after the Hall of Famer was on the field during this past Wednesday's altercation.

Jackson, who was on the field dressed in gray baseball pants, windbreaker and Yankees hat, was fined $250 by MLB. Jackson, a special advisor during the season, also doubles as a spring training instructor.

"I am going to call Bud (Selig) today," said Jackson, who explained he was on the field in the role of a peacemaker. "I called him (Saturday) and left a message. I was trying to make peace. I didn't have my number (44) on but I had the windbreaker that a lot of guys wear. (Don) Zimmer was on the field. He walked out; I jogged."

What a joke. Check the video, below. There are a ton of Rays on the field in windbreakers as well. Do we know who they all are? Do they have a right to be on the field? What, Reggie gets singled out because he has a famous face? Com'on Bud. Really.

You would have a point if the You tube you inserted was the only evidence. It wasn't.
