Whenever something as serious as the current situation in Baltimore is going on, there is always a few (or a couple dozen) athletes or celebrities who sticks their foot in their mouth with a terrible joke on social media. After it was announced that today’s White Sox-Orioles game would be closed to the public, the White Sox’ Adam Eaton became the latest player to make a poor joke about a serious situation.
We are gonna do our best to take the crowd out of it early.. Wish us luck..

Of course, it wasn’t long before Eaton was back-tracking on his joke.
Take it easy people. Just trying to lighten the mood. I have the up most respect for Baltimore and its people. Always have, always will.

Just another reminder that sometimes, it’s better to keep a joke in your head than on social media.
