Chicago White Sox star Tim Anderson accused New York Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson of making a racist 'Jackie Robinson' remark.
NEW YORK -- Chicago White Sox star shortstop Tim Anderson accused Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson of making a racist remark by calling him Jackie Robinson during Saturday's game against New York.
Asked how he heard it, Anderson agreed with La Russa's charge, saying:"Same, along that same line, yeah." Robinson broke the MLB color barrier in 1947. Every team in the big leagues has retired his No. 42 to honor the struggle, sacrifice and social impact he had on the game and beyond. Anderson said Donaldson made a"Jackie" reference in an early inning:"I spared him that time, and then it happened again."
Anderson continued to shout at Donaldson while being restrained by White Sox slugger José Abreu and infielder Gavin Sheets. After a few minutes, umpires issued warnings to both sides and Donaldson struck out. DJ LeMahieu capped a five-run second inning for the Yankees by hitting his second career grand slam, connecting off Dallas Keuchel .
