Angels | Jerome Williams takes the high road

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jerome Williams received a racial epithet from a follower on his official Twitter account following his loss Tuesday, June 12, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Williams showed his maturity after the ugly incident. "You've got some ignorant people out there," Williams said. "I went through so much stuff like that when I was growing up - it doesn't bother me anymore. It did kind of tick me off, and when I was younger, I used to lash out, wanting to fight every time. Now, knowing what's going on, I won't lash out. Just be the bigger man and walk away." Several teammates, including RP LaTroy Hawkins and C Bobby Wilson defended their teammate on Twitter.
