" David Wells condoned the actions of Texas pitcher Kenny Rogers, who knocked over two TV cameras and a cameraman last week and issued a public apology Wednesday. Rogers was suspended 20 games and fined $50,000, according to the HARTFORD COURANT.
"I'm stoked for him. I'm glad he did that," Wells said. "He needed to vent. He's been a mild-mannered ballplayer his whole life." ... Sometimes your buttons get pushed.
"The media and the camera guys, a lot of guys didn't like the camera on us when we're P.O.'d. But they continue to do it."
Wells accused the cameraman of trying to bait Rogers. "He's winking at another guy going, `Yeah, I'm going to get paid,'" Wells said.
Told that Rogers is facing assault charges, Wells said, "So. The guy's not hurt. Be a man and take it. Unless he was physically hurt and something happened. ... Just like that guy in Boston when that incident happened in the bullpen [in the 2003 ALCS] when I was with the Yankees, and he comes the next day with a neck brace. Be a man, dude."
