NEW YORK -- As Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray was having yet another terrible outing Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium and then laughing about it as he was pulled in the third inning with his club down six runs, an ugly part of his past was discovered on his @sonnygray2 Twitter account.
One of his tweets from 2012 paints the right-hander as a racist.
Judge for yourself:
Shown the tweet, Gray identified @Sir_Peanut1 as Rashun Dixon, a former Oakland Athletics farmhand, before adamantly defending his character.
"I'm not scared of my past," Gray said after the Yankees' 7-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
