Chicago Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward was allegedly hit with racial slurs upon his return to the St. Louis Cardinals' Busch Stadium on Monday, but he wasn't personally aware of it.
Heyward said Tuesday he didn't hear any racially charged speech directed at him but added, "Honestly, I wasn't really listening," per CSN Chicago's Patrick Mooney.
The 26-year-old also downplayed the alleged abuse from fans, saying, per Mooney, "I don't feel like it's a story. It's something I've dealt with my whole life. Keep going and don't really give it any attention.
