For the helmet tossing fiasco, Sexson was suspended five games. On the season, Sexson is hitting .216 with nine homers and 23 RBIs. He has been playing less and less for Seattle, and now it appears he won’t be playing at all.

Since he’s only 33-years-old, another team is sure to give Sexson a shot. Perhaps even the Texas Rangers, the opposing team when he started the brawl (check the brawl video).

If Sexson can find his swing, and keep his helmet on his head, he could have the last laugh in what has become a disaster of a season for the big first baseman.

Richie Sexson could be looking for work soon.

Texas Rangers pitcher Kason Gabbard threw a pitch that was a tad high on the 6-foot-8 Sexson. The pitch didn’t seem too malicious, yet Sexson sprints to the mound. Even worse, Sexson throws his batting helmet at Gabbard before he even reaches him.

Expect Sexson to be suspended for about a week. He didn’t have any business charging the mound and throwing his helmet was classless and dangerous. Instead of charging mounds, Sexson should concentrate on moving his batting average north of the Mendoza line.
