OK, so can you throw apples? Oranges? I guess watermelon is out?

Longnshort, throwing anything onto the baseball field is extremely classless. Good thing the guy admitted it before Eric Holder's agents could swoop into his home and treat him as Public Enemy #2 (after Zimmerman, of course). But the real issue here is how easily the media gets outraged over perceived racial outbursts. This one in particular gets attention not because something was thrown onto the field. That happens all the time in sports. This one, however, was "racist" because the media said so. And that, IMO, is how the media contributes to the current hypersensitivity regarding race. Completely irresponsible, but hey, it only works when people allow it to, and there are MANY people here that do. Tenchusatsu
