BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) -
Billy Martin won't have Reggie
Jackson to kick around — or is it vice
versa? — until Sunday.
By then, Jackson, the $2.9-million
slugger who chose to override his
manager’s directive and tried to bunt
during Monday night’s 9-7 loss to Kan-
sas City, will be roughly 112,000 poorer,
thanks to the five-day suspension
without pay slapped on him Tuesday by
Martin and supported by the Yankee
top brass.
The Yanks weren't scheduled
Tuesday. Jackson, who had a nationally
televised run-in with the fiery Martin in
the Yankee dugout in Boston’s Fenway
Park last season and who has voiced
dissatisfaction with Martin’s managing
this year as well, will miss games
tonight and Thursday night against the
Twins in Minnesota and Friday and
Saturday night’s games against the
White Sox in Chicago.
As it stands now, he’ll rejoin the
Yanks Sunday in Chicago.
When the Yankees were Minneapolis-
bound on Tuesday, Jackson was
Oakland-bound, to his home. He
scurried off a plane and into a waiting
car in San Francisco and vanished.
But Martin had plenty to say, before
and after the Yanks’ flight.
“I’m the manager and he’s the
player. That’s the way it’s got to be,” be
said before the team left New York. “It
was out-and-out defiance of my orders,
and that’s not going to be tolerated."
And when the club got to Minnesota,
he added: “I hope he comes back
realizing he's made a mistake and has
the right thoughts... As manager I have

Asked if the penalty might be too
harsh, Mastin snapped: “It wasn’t
harsh enough The next step would be
twice as hard.”
A major factor in Martin's favor was
the backing of the Yankee bosses —
President Al Rosen, club owner George
Steinbrenner and General Manager
Cedric Tallis. Rosen and Steinbrenner
have displayed less-than-overwhelming
support of Martin in the past Only a
few weeks ago Martin’s job appeared to
be on the line before a "clear-the-air"
session with Steinbrenner brought a
vote of confidence for the rest of this
season.
Steinbrenner personally voiced his
support of Jackson's suspension, which
was originally an indefinite one Mon-
day night but was set at five days after
Martin met Tuesday with Rosen and
Tallis. »
“We did a lot of soul searching,”
Tallis said. “We were aware that
Reggie has worked very hard this
season. But it was our feeling that dis-
regarding a manager's instructions
that had been explicitly explained to
him was of such a serious nature that he
had to be suspended.
“It was our recommendation,” Tallis
continued, "but on a matter of such
consequence, we did check with the
owner and president of the ball club.
They gave their approval."
"The manager runs the club on the
field,” added Rosen. “He has the full
authority to do this and the full backing
of the front office on this matter. No
player or players are bigger than the
team. That's the way I played and
that's the way I run this team.”
