Only in Boston.

From Bob Nightengale:

Baltimore Orioles All-Star center fielder Adam Jones was berated by racist taunts at Fenway Park while a bag of peanuts was thrown at him Monday night, calling it one of the worst cases of fan abuse he has heard in his career.

“A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,’’ Jones said, “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.’’

…

“It’s different,’’ he said. “Very unfortunate. I heard there was 59 or 60 ejections tonight in the ballpark. It is what it is, right. I just go out and play baseball. It’s unfortunate that people need to resort to those type of epithets to degrade another human being. I’m trying to make a living for myself and for my family.

“It’s unfortunate. The best thing about myself is that I continue to move on, and still play the game hard. Let people be who they are. Let them show their true colors.’’

Remember when it was fun to root for Boston in 2004? And then they won all those championships in every sport, got super obnoxious about it, and revealed themselves to be the most vile, racist fans this side of the pond, all while launching the sports media careers of a handful of ordinary Joes and Janes solely because they were from or covered Boston sports and became a go-to source on everything from Red Sox World Series runs to a Stanley Cup to fucking Deflategate, jersey thefts, and a murderous tight end? Oh that karma backwash is going to be so strong. Just arrest all of Fenway and start anew.
