In announcing the penalties today, Bob Watson, Major League Baseball's vice president for on-field operations, blamed Kemp for inciting the fight when he shoved Colorado catcher Yorvit Torrealba. Torrealba, who responded by shoving Kemp in the throat, was suspended three games and also fined." Regarding the fight, Kemp is quoted in the same article as saying:
