Josh Donaldson finally opens up about being traded.... GIDL Ep. 7

I mean, not for me personally, but, I mean, I remember Oakland was really tough for, uh, visiting guys.

You know, I remember Jeff Francoeur and a couple of the people, they were paying off the right field, um, Bleacher Creatures that were up there that that would just kill them the whole game.

And left field, too.

They were, they were, they were tough, especially at postseason.

I mean, it, it got rowdy in Oakland.

But I mean Tr- I mean, Toronto also we didn't experience this, but from, like, talking to other guys, bullpens, um, wh- while they're throwing their bullpen.

Fenway's another place that was probably really rough on people.

But I don't know.

I, I d- I never really experienced, like, as a fan, like, or not a fan, but as a player, like, it being rough because any time fans started talking shit to me, I started talking shit back to them.

[laughs]

And, and by the, by, by, by, by the end of it, they were ch- I remember one game in Boston, there was this one guy.

He was, like, trying to, like, give me the business or whatever.

And finally, like, he, he stepped out and I called him on it.

And yeah, I think he was probably, like, talk- a lot of people like to talk shit about my hair.

And I was like, "Yeah, well, you know, your babe right there probably doesn't li- doesn't, uh, think the same thing as you do.

I think she probably likes it." And everybody just kinda really just went crazy.

And then I remember we were, I was in Toronto, we were beating the brakes off of them.

And I'm on deck, and it's, like, the top of the ninth, and there's two outs, and they were cheering so hard for the guy in front of me to get on base because they wanted me to get up.

I had, like, four hits or something that game.

They wanted me to get up and get another hit.

He gets a hit.

I get up, and they're sh- they're going, "Donaldson.

Donaldson"

[laughs]

On the road.
