Just listening to WEEI before the game, and they were making (manufacturing) a story out of the fact that Red Sox DH JD Martinez posted a meme on Instagram [IN 2012!] with a photo of hitler and the quote "to conquer a nation first disarm its citizens."
They just got an interview out of JD, and he didn't deny it - he defended it! He said [I'm paraphrasing]: I'm Cuban-American, my family saw first-hand what a brutal dictatorship is. There are family members I will never meet because of that. I love this country. I stand by the constitution and the 2nd Amendment.
Good on you, JD!
Here is some of what's out there (btw, Buckley sucks almost as much as Shaughnessy):
Buckley: Red Sox’ J.D. Martinez gets A for effort, F in history
and - Red Sox star JD Martinez's controversial Hitler and gun Instagram post resurfaces
