Another Major League Baseball player found himself in hot water having to explain a controversial social media post.
Boston Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez says he stands by a Instagram post from 2013 which featured German dictator Adolf Hitler.
“I posted it,” Martinez said. “I love my country. I love this country. I stand by the Constitution and I stand by the Second Amendment and it’s something that I take pride in. It’s something that I’ll back up.”
Martinez says he didn't mean to offend anyone with the post.
“As most of you guys know I’m Cuban-American, and most of my family was run out of Cuba because of a brutal dictator,” he said.
