(Audacy) Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson has been a trending topic on social media in recent days following his altercation with White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson on Saturday.
In the latest development in the ugly saga, Donaldson was suspended for one game by MLB after Donaldson called Anderson "Jackie" Robinson during their most recent on-field confrontation.
In announcing Donaldson's punishment, MLB called the comment "disrespectful and in poor judgment."
On Baseball Twitter, the punishment was welcomed, but many felt it didn't go far enough. It also didn't sit well with some journalists and fans that Donaldson promptly decided to appeal the suspension -- an apparent denial of wrongdoing.
Here's a look at what some were saying.
