The Colorado Rockies say a fan was yelling the name of team mascot Dinger and not a racial slur during a game on Sunday. The Black player who was batting at the time isn’t so sure.

But a day later, he says he’s watched the video “at least 50 times” and says he keeps hearing a racial slur. Brinson said he hasn’t talked to the Rockies or the fan about the incident.

Brinson played Monday night in San Diego and hit a home run.
