Mariners Logan Morrison: “I acted like a 3-year-old”

Seattle Mariners outfielder/first baseman Logan Morrison needed five stitches to close a gash above his left eye after assaulting the Mariners dugout with his bat. The bat shattered leaving him with a laceration above his eye that required a needle and thread.

He left the game immediately.

To his credit Morrison acknowledged the incident  and was upfront with his response.

“Obviously I acted like a 3-year-old,” he said. “I apologized to my teammates. I’m about to go apologize to Mac. I can’t do that. I didn’t want to come out of the game. They saw me gushing blood from my eyebrow and they took me out. I’m embarrassed. No matter how bad I’m playing, I can’t do that.”

Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times said Morrison “looked like a UFC fighter” after the game. A shard of maple wood struck Morrison just above his left eye, causing a green and purple knot. Morrison joked that he “got into a fight” with his bat and that, “You should see the other guy.”

Morrison came to the Mariners from the Miami Marlins in an off-season trade for right-hander Carter Capps.
