Piniella/Dibble?  I don't remember either guy getting suspended there.  Though Lou did get fired later that year, IIRC (which is why he was available to us - thanks Rob!).  And NOBODY should take Marge's example of how to run a team under any sort of advisement.
Did anybody get suspended in that famous Reggie Jackson/Billy Martin blowup?  I doubt it.  Nobody suspends Reggie.
But I'll grant you it isn't common, and it usually signals that the manager has worn out his welcome if the player gets off scot-free.
