Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones has dealt with racist remarks throughout his entire major-league career.
The five-time All-Star said that Monday's night game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park was "one of the worst" he's ever endured during his 12-year career.
Jones, one of just 62 African-Americans on opening-day rosters, is also one of the most outspoken players in baseball and doesn't hesitate to discuss controversial social issues.
In an interview with USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale in September 2016, Jones was asked why baseball players didn't publicly make their voices known if there was an issue they'd like to bring to peoples' attention.
