A former baseball player got canned after a racist tweet.

Mike Bacsik is a former professional baseball player most famous for giving up Barry Bonds' historic 756th homerun.
But Bacsik is also known for losing his radio job over some racially insensitive tweets. Back in 2010, he tweeted, "Congrats to all the dirty Mexicans in San Antonio," following the Spurs' win over his hometown team, the Dallas Mavericks.
Bacsik was initially suspended indefinitely by the radio station that had hired him, but soon, was canned from his position. He later apologized, saying, "It's not a good joke...When you tweet like that, it's not a playful, harmless thing. It's not what it was meant to be.
