You don't watch much baseball, do you.

What are you talking about?? He's crying racism - that gives him 15 minutes of sympathy fame and he'll get $$$$ to help alleviate his hurt feelings.

This man recently signed a 7-year, $142 million contract with the Red Sox. He has made the MLB All-Start team 4 times (so far), he has won a Gold Glove, he was All-Star Game MVP in 2009, and he was the AL stolen base champion in 4 seasons. He was a 3 sport stud in High school and was offered a scholarship to play QB for Nebraska football.

He has neither need nor desire for 15 minutes of fame. The man is already legendary. He simply stated an incident occurred. He chose to sign with Boston, knowing its history of racial insensitivity. He doesn't expect anything to come from this. He just mentioned it during a presser and said he doesn't want to go back there again.
