LeBron James just happened to be watching the Boston Red Sox game against the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night when he saw the Fenway Park crowd give Adam Jones a standing ovation.
Because he stays away from social media during the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers star said he wasn’t entirely sure what was going on. He said he had the audio off, so didn’t hear what was being said on television.
The Red Sox crowd, including some of the team’s players, gave outfielder Jones the reception when he came to the plate for his first at-bat because Jones had been the target of racial taunts the night before.
