MLB suspended Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson for one game after he made Jackie Robinson comments toward White Sox star Tim Anderson.
while talking to White Sox star Tim Anderson during the weekend.
"MLB has completed the process of speaking to the individuals involved in this incident. There is no dispute over what was said on the field. Regardless of Mr. Donaldson's intent, the comment he directed toward Mr. Anderson was disrespectful and in poor judgment, particularly when viewed in the context of their prior interactions," Hill said in a statement.
Anderson, one of baseball's leading Black voices and an All-Star shortstop, said it was a"disrespectful comment." White Sox manager Tony La Russa said it was racist, and Anderson agreed. "My meaning of that is not any term trying to be racist by any fact of the matter," Donaldson said Saturday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he talked to Donaldson after Saturday's game and believed his player's explanation for why he made the"Jackie" remark - but he also said he thought Donaldson shouldn't have used the term.
