Line 40:
Over a late August weekend at Milwaukee, Puckett went 10 for 11, with four homers and two doubles, raising his batting average 13 points. The feat tied a major league record.
[[Joe Niekro]], a pitcher for the Twins, was suspended for 10 games when [[umpire (baseball)|umpire]] [[Tim Tschida]] discovered an [[emery board]] in his pocket. Tschida suspected Niekro was scuffing the ball, and saw the emery board fly out of Niekro's pocket. Niekro said he was filing his nails in the dugout, but [[American League]] president [[Bobby Brown (third baseman)|Dr. Bobby Brown]] didn't believe him, and ordered the suspension. When the Twins won the pennant, Niekro set a major league record as he'd waited 20½ years since his debut to reach a World Series game.
