Twins centre-fielder Torii Hunter is less than totally enamoured with who is marking Jackie Robinson Day:
"What bugged me was that Houston doesn't have a black player . . . and this might not be true at all, but, in my opinion, I feel like everybody (on the Astros) is wearing it because they don't have a black player. A lot of teams are wearing it, and they barely have black players.
"Now it's becoming a racial thing. It's not a racial thing.
"It's not a race thing for all black players to wear it. I think it's a cover-up when you don't have a black player on the team and you get everybody to wear it.
"In my community -- I'm from there (Texas), so I know what they're talking about -- they come to me with this. I'm telling you what they think, that some people aren't worthy to wear that.
"I'm not worthy to wear it, but a lot of people shouldn't be wearing it. They don't know what it's for. They don't know what he did, what he went through."
