Major League Baseball is reportedly investigating online hate messages directed toward the 13-year-old nephew of Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Pham tweeted the following on Monday:
Tommy PhamPSA to all fans coming at my nephew on Instagram leave my nephew out of this he's 13 yrs old and shocker it's all white ppl, your life must suck really bad for you to talk shit to a 13 yr old!!!
That comes in the wake of Pham and San Diego Padres fans having a verbal altercation over the weekend, with Pham saying one fan called him a "piece of s--t" and another approached him in front of the team hotel:
Tommy PhamSince this guy wants to block me and act like his friend is a model citizen I'll put 100k up if he passes a lie detector test saying he didn't call me a piece of shit if he doesn't pass which he won't mlb bans him for life from all stadiums <a href="https://t.
