Chisholm reflected on his former Miami Marlins teammates, including veteran infielder Miguel Rojas, hazing him and destroying his custom shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Chisholm said he believes racial bias drove the harassment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody would ever cut up my cleats or throw my things away if I were White,&#8221; Chisholm said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Jazz Chisholm&#8217;s GTA Vice City cleats are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HWlbz0hGOL\" data-mrf-link=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HWlbz0hGOL\">pic.twitter.com\/HWlbz0hGOL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jazz Chisholm&#39;s GTA Vice City cleats are \ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HWlbz0hGOL\">pic.twitter.com\/HWlbz0hGOL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1385326456041996289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chisholm: &#8220;The unwritten rules of baseball are White.

Chisholm hit .273 with 11 home runs, 23 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and a .825 OPS in 46 games with the Yankees, who acquired him ahead of last summer&#8217;s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love what Jazz brings to the game of baseball and what he does for the Yankees!&#8221; one fan wrote. &#8220;Great energy guy that brings it when he takes the field and has fun while doing it, nothing wrong with that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Added another: &#8220;Being yourself allows you to have fun and contribute in intangible ways. There needs to be [more] players like [Chisholm]. Cheering for him so hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chisholm, who spent his first Yankees season at third base, added two postseason home runs for the AL champions. He&#8217;d never played third in the majors but moved to accommodate former All-Star Gleyber Torres.<\/p>\n<p>Torres joined the Detroit Tigers this offseason, paving the way for Chisholm&#8217;s return to second.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The] yankees need your kind of infectious [enthusiasm] for life and the game of baseball,&#8221; an X user wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love him so much so much,&#8221; another fan chimed in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has never shied away from being authentic, even if his natural personality rubs others the wrong way.
