Major League Baseball has suspended Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon for seven games and fined him an undisclosed amount for his actions in Sunday's game.

Papelbon grabbed his crotch at the fans when exiting the field as the boos rained down. He was swiftly ejected and then proceeded to get into it with the umpire.

Below is the Phillies' statement on the MLB ruling.

“The Phillies fully support the decision of the Commissioner’s Office, which has exclusive jurisdiction for on-field player behavior. By Major League Baseball rules, the Phillies have no authority to make official judgments about activity which occurs on the field or to determine the appropriate penalty for misconduct. We apologize to our fans for the actions of our player yesterday.”

Here is the video for those of you who missed it:
