Giants fan who threw banana near Adam Jones apologizes - Washington Times


The Giants fan who chucked a banana near Baltimore Orioles centerfielder Adam Jones during a game in San Francisco this weekend said he was shocked to learn he was at the height of the controversy.

Alexander Poulides, 42, insisted to the San Jose Mercury News that he’s embarrassed and shocked, and in no way meant the banana as a racial attack.


Mr. Poulides said he was oblivious of the uproar until Monday morning when he turned on the TV, only to hear of an “unidentified Giants fan” who threw a banana at Jones, who is black.

Now that the Giants know his name , he should be banned from future Giant games !

All baseball fans need to go to sensitivity training.

What in the hell do bananas have to do with black people that it would be considered racial??

Man, you can't even take a breath around here without some new offense being declared.
