Returning to New York for the first time since making prejudice remarks during last years playoffs, John Rocker of the Atlanta Braves was greeted by a lone protester outside Yankee stadium. The person, an unidentified transvestite, set fire to a stack of Barry Manilow albums and danced around the flames chanting "let your freak flag fly baby!", while the Braves arrived for their pre-game workout. "I just want him(Rocker) to know that the voice of freedom can not be suppressed," claimed the person. "As far as I'm concerned he and Jerry Falwell can kiss my hairy butt." After ten minutes NY police grew weary of the spectacle and beat the protestor into a coma with their night sticks. "We really wanted to kill the queer little punk but then he wouldn't learn his lesson," said officer Bryan O'Peltzer. Later Rocker was questioned about the incident, "She looked pretty hot to me," he said. "Maybe we had a one night stand and she was pissed or something. I don't know what her problem was the silly bitch."
