If you haven't already seen it, you absolutely must go to the following link on you tube. Alex Rios cusses out a fan after a charity event! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJbhmwRCmM
After a pathetic 0 for 5 game Thursday against the Angels, Rios attended a charity event that evening and refused to grant a kid an autograph. Then Rios started getting heckled from a fan saying "you should be happy someone wants your autograph" Rios eventually snapped, and several f-bombs were said.
This is great stuff. I like that Rios stood up for himself instead of brushing the nasty comments aside. The passion was incredible and extremely raw. I just wish Rios brought that much intensity to the baseball diamond every day.
Rios apologized for the altercation today, and responded by going 1 for 4 in the series opener against the Royals, including an RBI double.
Note: A previous posting included the link to Rios arguing with a fan. The video has since been taken down by YouTube.
