Talk:Josh Donaldson

How many at-bats?
Baldrake (talk) 17:26, 26 October 2016 (UTC) In the Personal Life section, it says "Donaldson walked twice and hit a home run as well as a double in three at-bats". How is this possible? Wouldn't a homer, a double and two walks require at least four at-bats?


 * No. a walk is a plate appearance, but not an at bat. Mind  matrix  17:41, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks Mindmatrix. Baldrake (talk) 18:59, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

 * , why would you tell such an obvious and easily disproven lie?

Trivia Tuesday: From 2014 through 2016, how many rain DELAYS occurred at Target Field?☂️ Jan 14, 2020 – Muboshgu (talk) 16:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Then again, per Mark Feinsand BREAKING: Per source, 3B Josh Donaldson has agreed to a four-year deal with the Minnesota Twins. Mind  matrix  17:48, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * And also Ken Rosenthal: Donaldson deal with #MNTwins, per source: Four years, $92M. Deal includes fifth-year option that can increase total value of deal to $100M. Mind  matrix  17:50, 15 January 2020 (UTC)


 * you obviously aren't a baseball fan if you don't understand that tweet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayeyayeyaye (talk • contribs) 20:16 UTC 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The tweet you link is only suggestive, it does not outright state they signed him. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all statements made in articles. Also, the tone of your comment is not constructive and has little to do with building an encyclopedia. And pretty much everyone gets that Donaldson is the "bringer of rain".

 * If the Twins do announce that they have signed Josh Donaldson, they will do so by explicitly saying that they signed Josh Donaldson. They won't do it by posting a trivia question that possibly has nothing to do with the player beyond coincidence. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:50, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Donaldson has done media interviews at this point acknowledging that he was signed by the Twins. Stick a fork in it. It's done. KateBergerMpls (talk) 00:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , source required. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , sources were provided. You simply ignored them, and reverted an edit based on administrivia. KateBergerMpls (talk) 18:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Brawl on May 21, 2022
Donaldson triggered a bench-clearing brawl on Saturday, May 21, 2022, at Yankee Stadium as the Yankees hosted the Chicago White Sox. According to White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, Donaldson addressed Anderson, who is Black, as "Jackie" in an apparent reference to Jackie Robinson, the first Black player in the Non-Negro major leagues. Anderson said that earlier in the game, Donaldson had called him that but that Anderson had decided to let Donaldson's first comment slide. When Donaldson said it again later in the game, Anderson responded, later telling reporters he found Donaldson's comment "disrespectful." White Sox manager Tony La Russa went further, saying Donaldson's comment was "racist."Maccb (talk) 12:25, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
