Is Rocker still trying to rehabilitate his reputation as a "racist"?
Give it up,John.

ROCKER,IN 2000,WAS TREATED LIKE A PSYCHO FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT NYC;MURRAY CHASE WROTE THE ARTICLE
GRA:Starts with a quote by then commissioner,Bud Selig:
(NY Times) "Major League Baseball takes seriously its role as an American institution and the important social responsibility that goes with it," Selig said in a statement. "We will not dodge our responsibility. Mr. Rocker should understand that his remarks offended practically every element of society and brought dishonor to himself, the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball."
Rocker, who initially gained notoriety by lashing out at Mets fans during the National League Championship Series last October, expanded his target group in a Sports Illustrated article in December. He disparaged an assortment of foreign people -- "I'm not a very big fan of foreigners," he said, adding, "How the hell did they get in this country?"-- as well as gays and others. He also called a black teammate "a fat monkey."
Talking about playing for a New York team, he said: "Imagine having to take the 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
(GRA:What's the offending part of the statement?)
When Marge Schott was the owner of the Cincinnati Reds in the 1990's, she was suspended more than once for her public statements on blacks and Jews, but no player whom anyone could remember was ever disciplined for his public comments.
Players have been suspended for drug use, and Denny McLain, a well-known pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, was suspended for the first half of the 1970 season for his relationship with gamblers.
Rocker will not be permitted to begin formal preparation for the season until April 3, when, he was informed, he can participate in extended spring training and/or minor league activities. He cannot play for the Braves until May 1.
"I do not believe it is appropriate that I should be harshly disciplined for my misguided speech unaccompanied by any conduct on my part," Rocker said in a statement released by his agents. "I have previously apologized for my unfortunate remarks and stand by my apology."
Rocker had previously been ordered to undergo psychological evaluation under baseball's employee assistance plan. The announcement yesterday said he had completed that evaluation but did not provide further information.
GRA:One honest person--too honest for the powers that be--gets sent to a shrink for the crime of saying publicly what most(with a functioning brain)realize to be true. And it's worse,by leaps and bounds,in 2026.

I wonder which teammate was the "black monkey" in the late 90s,Rocker was referring to.
I'll take a look at the roster back then and make a guess.
Was Terry Pendleton on the roster back then? Off the top of my head on that one.
Now I'll look.

No Pendleton,but Andruw Jones was 6'1" 225 lbs. Possible.
