The New York Yankees infielder launches into a basketball-inspired eurostep celebration when he touches home plate after every home run, and it's not uncommon to see his hat tilted a bit.

But that hasn't stopped Chisholm, who is not bashful about adding chains and non-uniform colors to his look, from getting criticism.

And he seemed to insinuate he feels it's because of his skin color.

"The unwritten rules of baseball are White. And I always broke the unwritten rules of baseball."

Maybe it was rookie hazing, or maybe Rojas was sending a message. It's likely a combination of both, but it's no secret Chisholm and Rojas do not get along. It's also not a secret that Chisholm was happy to be traded from Miami to the Bronx last year.

"Nobody would ever cut up my cleats or throw my things away if I were White," Chisholm claimed. "I'll tell you right now, if this was a White boy's stuff, you weren't gonna cut that s--- up because if a White boy goes and complains, now everybody's f---ed. I go and complain, and it's not that big of a deal. It's, 'Let's try and find a solution for this.' But if a White boy goes and complains, nah, f--- that."
