As Adam Jones returns to Fenway, has baseball changed?
ESPN ^ | August 25, 2017 | Scott Lauber

It has been 3½ months since Adam Jones endured what he describes as "one of the worst nights" of his 12-year major league career.

Now, with the Baltimore Orioles' center fielder returning to Boston for the first time since a racial incident that rocked baseball, it's fair to ask: Has anything changed?

The boobs that taunted him were probably drunk——no excuse,but that type of thing was not exactly routine.

Adam will survive.

More virtue-signaling crap. A few drunken jerks in the bleachers get out of hand and the entire institution of baseball is condemned as racist.

It would be like if the entire Democratic party was condemned as a racist outfit on account of Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer.

Pretty stupid to judge baseball based on ONE knucklehead in the stands.

Race is perhaps the most boring topic.

Life is hard for us all. Suck it up Buttercup.

An idiot jerk yelled something.

ESPN thinks it’s the most important thing in the world.

Some Redsox fan offended him?

Uh...this is ridiculous. Just be glad you aren’t a Mets player at home stadium.

First...as a lifelong Bostonian I can guarantee that we have our share of drunken punks.

Second...is ESPN still in business?

When I was 11,having just recently discoved baseball (and the Red Sox) my Dad took me to NYC to see a Red Sox/Yankees game.

Not having the first clue what "The Rivalry" was about I was cheering my lungs out for the Sox.The looks I got from those around me were indescribably scary.If my Dad wasn't with me I'm sure I would have been injured.

I’m a long time Sox fan who has been to hundreds of games at Fenway. This clown is spouting BS. I have *never* heard anyone at any time spout a racial epithet at anyone, never mind a player on the field. This is just an empty self-aggrandising stunt by a loser.

So you have heard everything anyone says at Fenway, ever, from your particular seat?

Amazing auditory skills, FRiend.

Orioles spanking Sox, 13-3 BTW.
