Josh Donaldson says he was "joking around" when he referred to Tim Anderson as "Jackie," but at least one member of the Chicago White Sox isn't buying the former MVP's explanation.
"Usually you have inside jokes with people you get along with, not people who don't get along at all," White Sox closer Liam Hendriks said Sunday, one day after the exchange between Donaldson and Anderson incited a benches-clearing incident at Yankee Stadium. "So that statement right there was complete bulls---."
Donaldson admitted after Saturday's game to calling Anderson "Jackie" -- a nod to Jackie Robinson -- in the first inning.
