    But never call Tim Anderson "Jackie" just because he called himself "today's Jackie Robinson" in Sports Illustrated in 2019 because it's disrespectful.

    Unreal.

    So is it racist to call him Jackie?

    WTF happened ACTUALLY out there on the field in that game?

    Tim Anderson forget about that interview?

    The whole thing is now just crazy.

    Everyone is a bad guy.

      Donaldson's words were at worst, tacky, if you even want to take it that far.

      He was having a little fun (IMO) at Anderson, and poor butt hurt Timmy took it two miles two far.
      Then Mr. "I've got a thousand skeletons in my closet" La Russa chimes in with his two cents.
      Tony the Tiger needs to STFU, he barely remembers his own name these days.

      I was talking to my buddy Brandon who covers the Twins on a regional basis, he tells there's always been bad blood between the two of then, going back to when Anderson was a rookie.

      Now I'm not a Blue Jay fan (his former team) so I was never a big Donaldson fan, I'm siding with nobody, but to me it sounds like Timmy is flaming his remark.

      JD's a big boy, Donaldson would crush him man to man straight up.
      I'm told that's why La Russa and Timmy had his catcher Grandal to have a 'few words' with JD his next time at bat,
