John Rocker may have a million-dollar arm, but he'll be sitting out the first month of the baseball season because of his ten-cent head. Rocker's xenophobic, homophobic, and racist remarks to Sports Illustrated last month created a fuss that even the usually obtuse lords of baseball couldn't ignore. So uttering all the appropriate phrases about offending society and the dignity of the game, commissioner Bud Selig suspended the Atlanta pitcher for the month of April, which will cost him around $300,000 in salary.
