Rodolfo Castro won't do it again.
But he'll also appeal Major League Baseball's one-game suspension, delivered Tuesday afternoon, for playing with a cell phone in his back pocket a week ago in the Pirates' 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks in Phoenix, a scene that became a meme worldwide.
"I do know that it was a mistake," Castro said in the PNC Park clubhouse via team interpreter Mike Gonzalez. "It's not something I did consciously. It’s something I truly didn’t intend to happen. Mostly, I just want MLB to hear my version and make sure they understand my heart behind everything.
