Former Boston Red Sox hitter Kevin Youkilis wasn't on the receiving end of much hatred at Fenway Park but said he saw racism first hand from Boston fans.
The three-time All-Star described his experience Tuesday, via Wil Leitner of Fox Sports Radio:
"Boston was tough. Being a fan favorite there, being a white guy, being Jewish with Brookline right down the street—a very Jewish neighborhood, I was lucky. They loved me. But I did see some tension with even my own teammates. There was one incident where a fan came running down and was being extra harsh towards one of our black players, and I just got fed up and I stood up and told him to, 'Shut the 'F' up, and if you don't like it get out of here'.
