AJ had banana thrown at him today

[OFFNY]

A.J. handled the situation the best way. The O's won. Didn't AJ hit a home run? You don't ever want to lower your standards to an idiot like that.

I believe that Adam is very good at that.

In April of 2009, I was sitting in the centerfield bleachers at O.P.A.C.Y. when a woman (Yankee fan) continually yelled insults toward Jones for about 2 minutes straight, just before an inning started. Adam (wearing sunglasses) just stood there, and stared in the woman's direction the entire time. When the inning was about to begin, Adam simply put his glove in front of his face, and then turned around toward home plate for the first pitch of the inning.

I thought that it was great. Maybe you had to be there to understand, but I thought it was great.

Right because the only racists are from Appalachia.

Way to rail against the use of stereotypes by using a stereotype.

What is your malfunction? He was just making fun of the racist. Sense of humor Can of Corn?

Right, he decided to make fun of a racist by insulting a cultural group.

That's funny?

[BillySmith]

Yes, it is.

After his dinger AJ came out and gave a little back to the one guy in the CF bleachers who rode him all weekend. Good stuff.

You're using one racist remark when you say that. So I'm taking it as you're going after the people from the South, which is ok? I was born in Westminster, raised in Jacksonville, and now live in GA. I take offense to that dude.

Maybe the guy was trying to impress his boyfriend?

Making a joke against racism by using a homophobic comment = Fail.

Nice to see the OH in uproar about Apalachia and not something like this.

His post never said anything about Appalachia. Oversensitive much?

Adam Jones is cool and one of the best baseball players in the world.

The Banjo reference was about as subtle as the banana.

I don't see anyone postulating the person responsible threw the banana because that is what they had on hand.

I agree but I was already caught up in the other fight.

[catjuggler]

So banjo = Appalachian?

Dude! You have one more post till you reach 20,000!!! Congrats!

I know whatever I say will not do any good. I thought my banjo and toothbrush comment was funny. My relatives are from North Carolina and West Virginia. I know, first hand, the types of stereotypes that they have. I'm sorry for anybody I offended.

What a day. Seems like some get offended over things that is not worth a hill

of beans. Sorry but if someone is looking to be offended then they usually are.

What happened to AJ in San Fran by that fan is just sti
