San Diego Padres pitcher Bud Norris found himself in headlines Wednesday for making some opinionated comments about the culture of American baseball and how foreign players fit in.
The comments were made to USA Today as part of an article by Jorge L. Ortiz, who posits that many of the fights/bench-clearing brawls in baseball are the result of a culture clash between white players and Hispanic players. For instance, his article indicates clashes are the result of Latin American players not following the “unwritten rules” of the game, leading to tension with American/white players.
Norris agrees.
