Great story. Guy can't let a couple of mascots run on field w/o hitting them w/a bat. Since my avatar is Mr. Rocker himself, I found this amusing - JAY

Pro baseball: Braves' Simon calls Rocker a liar
By Bill Zack Savannah Morning News
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Even here, on a small island in the tranquil Caribbean, John Rocker's voice has caused pain and anger.
Among the Atlanta Braves closer's inflammatory remarks in a recent Sports Illustrated article was a line in which [u]he described a black teammate as "a fat monkey." [/u]In last week's ESPN interview, Rocker identified the player as Latin.
While the identity of the teammate has not been revealed publicly, first baseman Randall Simon knows Rocker is talking about him.
"I'm the only one on the team who's Latin and black," said Simon, who's hitting .444 with the Licey team in the Dominican Winter League. "I know for a fact he's talking about me. It's going to be tough for me when I see him."

I saw the video of Pitt. Pirate Randall Simon striking the "sausage" mascot, who happened to be a 19-year old girl. Simon is a monkey-black-latin-whatever who should be charged with assault for a potentially injurious act on an unsuspecting person. These mindless, careless, and clueless non-Whites show their true colors with vicious acts like this. They're all useless. John Rocker is my hero.

The media pundits are laughing over this. Laughing because the sausage got hit and fell down with the other one. Need I say more.

Imagine if Rocker did something like this in the minor leagues. He'd be surrounded by 15 cop cars on the field, and dozens of officers pointing pistols right at him in the dugout. Then they'd charge Rocker with attempted homicide, booked, and convicted by the media.
Then parents around teh country would teach their kids not to be a racist, sausage-beater in life.
