Boone: Donaldson shouldn’t make ‘Jackie’ remark to Anderson

“I certainly understand how that would be sensitive and understand the reaction,” Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said.

Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson was wrong to make a remark referencing Jackie Robinson when speaking to White Sox star Tim Anderson, New York manager Aaron Boone said Sunday.

A day after the comment called “racist” by Chicago manager Tony La Russa — an assessment that Anderson agreed with — Major League Baseball continued to investigate the incident.

Anderson, one of baseball’s leading Black voices and an All-Star shortstop, and Donaldson, who is white, did not speak to reporters before the start of Sunday’s doubleheader.

Boone said he talked to Donaldson after  today!
