When Baltimore resident Daniel Spriggs heard about the racial slurs that Orioles center fielder Adam Jones received earlier this week at Fenway Park, it didn't surprise him — because Spriggs said he has heard the same language while attending a Red Sox game in Boston.
Spriggs, 31, took his 5-year-old son, Jackson, to his first baseball game at Camden Yards on Friday night, saying that attending a major league ballgame in Baltimore is much different than what he experienced in Boston.
"From what I hear, and my own experience in Boston, it didn't seem too off base," said Spriggs, who said he heard racial slurs being hurled while attending a game at Fenway Park five years ago while he was on a work trip.
