Before yesterday's empty-seated game against the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones took the time to deliver a heartfelt message to Baltimore's youth:

“We’ve seen good,” he says. “We’ve seen bad. We’ve seen ugly. Our games canceled, postponed, relocated, a city that is hurting, a city that needs its heads of the city to step up and help the ones who are hurting….

[The youths’] frustration is warranted. It’s understandable, understood. The actions I don’t think are acceptable. But this is their cry. Obviously, this isn’t a cry that’s acceptable but it’s their cry and therefore we have to understand it and accept it. They need hugs. They need love. They need support. I’m going to try to give as much as I can because the city needs it.”
