Adam Jones.
Orioles outfielder Adam Jones had a big game Sunday with a home run and four RBIs in a 10-2 win over the Giants, but it was another incident that had him talking and tweeting after the game.
Jones, an African American, said a fan threw a banana towards him in the bottom of the ninth inning, minutes after he had hit a three-run home run. The game took place in San Francisco, and the Giants said they hadn't heard about the incident but will review security tapes on Monday.
Jones tweeted again later after he had received many comments on the incident from people who felt he was overreacting to the incident.
Jones, a three time All-Star, is having an MVP season for the Orioles with 24 home runs, 85 RBIs and a .332 batting average. Baltimore is 1 1/2 games behind the final wild card spot in the American League.
This isn't the first time a banana has been thrown towards an African American athlete Two years ago while playing an exhibition game in Canada, former Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds was on the ice attempting a shot in the shootout, when a banana was thrown at him from the stands.
