The Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox have been embroiled in something of a bitter rivalry this season, but matters took a turn for the worse Monday night at Fenway Park. Orioles center fielder Adam Jones had a bag of peanuts thrown at him and racial epithets shouted in his direction.
Jones said he’d received similar hostile treatment in previous trips to Boston, but never to the extent he experienced Monday night. “For the particular individuals that feel it’s OK with free speech to say those type of things is completely unacceptable,” a disappointed Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
