Shugart was blacklisted from baseball after the 1901 season because of an altercation on August 21, 1901, in which he punched an umpire in the face and teammate Jack Katoll beaned the umpire in the leg.[citation needed] Katoll only received an 11-game suspension, while Shugart never played in the Major Leagues again.[citation needed]
