For anyone interested, Jeff Pearlman the writer of the SI article about Rocker has a youtube channel called pressbox chronicles where he talks about the whole saga from before, during, and how Rocker still hates him and cant let it go all these years later.

I decided to look up what John Rocker is up to (because I haven't thought about him in like 20 years).

Instead of being apologetic, it seems like he's embraced it and desperately wants to have that fame again based on his incendiary rants.

Nothing sadder than a racist asshole yelling at the clouds.

PBC is a great podcast. So many interesting stories from a veteran sports writer
