Why Red Sox broadcaster apologized for comments about Yankees' Jazz Chisholm, Austin Wells that 'crossed a line'

Red Sox radio broadcaster Will Flemming drew attention for controversial comments he made about Jazz Chisholm and Austin Wells during the team's series against the Yankees.

While it will be easy to make this another chapter in the annals of New York-Boston hatred, it is not that for me.

"These rivalry games get me fired up; I apologize for letting the emotion of the moment get the best of me," Will Flemming wrote on X.
