  "account": "Dane Myers expressed surprise at Tommy Pham's social media attack on him following a recent game between the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks. Myers, who admired Pham's skills and identity with him due to shared backgrounds, found Pham's criticism unexpected. Pham, a former Red and 13-year MLB veteran, criticized Myers for an error that cost the Reds the third out and the game in the final game of the recent homestand. Myers defended himself, emphasizing his focus on winning and his routine in catching the ball, and stated he wasn't concerned with Pham's opinion. The exchange highlighted Myers' respect for Pham, a Black role model, and his own experiences as a Black player who overcame adversity.",
  "summary": "\"I know when I'm older if I see a younger Black guy, especially, playing the game hard, I (won't) call him out in public,\" Reds CF Dane Myers said.",
