The Chicago White Sox on Saturday accused New York Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson of making a racist comment directed at Chicago shortstop Tim Anderson. After the Yankees’ 7-5 win in New York, Anderson, who is Black, said Donaldson referred to him as “Jackie” during the game, a reference to MLB legend Jackie Robinson. “He just made a, you know, disrespectful comment,” Anderson told reporters. “Basically, it was trying to call me Jackie Robinson. Like, ‘What’s up, Jackie?’ I don’t play like that. I don’t really play at all.
