Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said he was subjected to a slew of N-words and other racial taunts at Fenway Park during Baltimore's game against Boston on Monday night.
"A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,'' Jones said, according to USA Today. "I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.''
Jones, one of just 62 African-American players on the Opening Day rosters of the league's 30 teams this year, said he was the target of further taunts as the game continued.
"Very unfortunate," he Jones.
