Monday, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was greeted by Boston Red Sox fans with a bag of peanuts being thrown his way and with racial slurs.
Tuesday was much different for Jones, as Red Sox fans in attendance greeted him during his first at-bat following the incident with a standing ovation after Red Sox star right fielder Mookie Betts called on fans to be above racism.
Fact: I'm Black too ✊🏽Literally stand up for @SimplyAJ10 tonight and say no to racism. We as @RedSox and @MLB fans are better than this.
