Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones was the target of racism from the Fenway Park crowd during his team's 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday.
"A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me," Jones said, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. "I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome."
According to Nightengale, Jones said this wasn't the first time he was on the receiving end of racism in Fenway Park.
Nightengale noted Red Sox officials said the fan who threw the peanuts was ejected, but Jones suggested there should have been a harsher penalty for the culprit.
