Farrell: Racist few don't reflect Red Sox fans or city of Boston

Skipper of the Boston Red Sox, John Farrell, was on MLB Network Radio Tuesday to discuss the racist comments that fans at Fenway spewed at Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones.

"We have a zero tolerance to any kinds of comments like that," Farrell told MLB Network Radio, adding that "the fact that there's comments that are insensitive, ignorant, racist, there's no place for it. Whether it's in Fenway or, really, in society ... and it's a shame that it did take place."

Jones told Bob Nightengale of USA Today following Monday's contest against the Red Sox that he was subjected to racial slurs and otherwise abhorrent behavior.

"A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me," the Orioles star said. "I was called the N-word a handful of times."

Marty Walsh, Boston's mayor, also expressed his concern regarding the events of Monday's game, telling Nightengale that "this is unacceptable and not who we are as a city. These words and actions have no place in Fenway, Boston, or anywhere."

Farrell echoed those remarks, adding that "you get the comments of the select few that are by no means a reflection of our fans or the city of Boston ... and, bottom line is, there's no place for it."
