TAMPA — Dexter Fowler was asked a question. He gave a heartfelt answer. And then as it so often does, all hell broke loose on social media this week.
Dexter Fowler is a smart and thoughtful man. He treats others with respect. He smiles. He engages. He plays with passion. He is everything that is right in the world of major league baseball.
To nobody’s surprise, he respectfully stood his ground this week as the computer jockeys slung their filth, and good for him. Because what he said wasn’t so much political as it was human.
