DENVER — Talking publicly for the first time since a clash with Jose Ramirez near second base that sparked a nasty brawl in Cleveland two weeks ago, White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson vowed to “be better” as a leader by example and to keep working to be the player he has been in the past.
“You go through things to get to the other thing,” Anderson said Friday, speaking in the visitors’ dugout at Coors Field before serving the first game of a suspension that Major League Baseball reduced to five games Thursday. “I’ve got to be better. I have to be better. I will be better. [I’ll] keep working, and I won’t take anything for granted. Keep trying to better myself as a whole, on and off the field. And just keep pushing.”
