For Orioles' Adam Jones, after racist taunts, the healing process begins now

BOSTON -- Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones walked to the plate Tuesday night, and every step he took, the cheering got louder, and louder at Fenway Park.

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale, standing on the mound, stepped off, allowing the cheering to grow to a crescendo, which turned into a standing ovation.

The Red Sox crowd, embarrassed by the actions of a few Monday night that yelled racial slurs at Jones, with some later throwing a bag of peanuts at him, let Jones know that a few fools’ certainly actions don’t reflect everyone.
