Sanders made the Yankees' Opening Day roster for the 1990 season.[19] On May 22, 1990, Sanders became involved in a dispute with Chicago White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk. Sanders started by stepping up to the plate with one out and a runner on third, drawing a dollar sign in the dirt before the pitch and then failed to run to first base after hitting a routine pop fly to shortstop, trotting back to the dugout instead. The Yankee fans booed, and Fisk told Sanders to run the ball out and called Sanders a "piece of shit". Later in the game, Sanders told Fisk that "the days of slavery are over". Fisk was furious, later saying: "He comes up and wants to make it a racial issue, there's no racial issue involved. There is a right way and a wrong way to play this game."[20][21][22]

That’s no way for a man to handle that issue. It was an embarrassment to Sanders superb athletic career.

Here is how he could’ve handled it perhaps..like a man



Bryce Harper was criticized by one of his teammates Jonathan Papelbon for not running out a pop fly….so he criticized Papelbon and a fight of somewhat occurred between the two.

I'm always shocked to my socks when players can't even pretend to care as they make millions! :mad: :heehee:
