A person familiar with the investigation says the Mets suspended Samuels because he's involved in an investigation into illegal gambling being conducted by the Queens District Attorney and the New York Police Department. The team announced the suspension Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010, but did not explain it. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, File)
