Tim Anderson responds to boos from Yankees fans with three-run HR, says they should shut the [expletive] up

Tim Anderson had the most perfect response to the boos from New York Yankees fans.

On Sunday, Anderson smacked home a three-run shot for the Chicago White Sox to widen their lead to 5-0 in the eighth inning. While the home run is a gorgeous one, it’s not the story here. What is is what Anderson did after the three-run shot.

While rounding the bases, Anderson shushed the crowd — who had booed him all night — with a finger to his lips. Then, after crossing home plate, Anderson — within earshot of the camera — essentially told Yankees fans to shut the hell up, but more emphatically than that.

Warning: NSFW language in the tweet below.

Oh boy!

This all comes after Anderson and Yankees designated hitter Josh Donaldson got into it on Saturday in an incident that sparked a benches-clearing brawl. The reason? Donaldson made a racist comment to Anderson, calling him “Jackie” in reference to the great Jackie Robinson.

When Anderson stepped up to the plate on Sunday, he was booed heartily by Yankees fans, which is what prompted the White Sox shortstop’s reaction after his home run in the eighth inning.

It seems as Anderson and the White Sox got the last laugh here on Yankees fans, as Chicago bested New York 5-0 and won the series, becoming the first visiting team to do so at Yankees Stadium this season.
