\n Dom Smith\u2019s raw moment in Queens reached far and wide.<\/p>\n

The Mets first baseman and outfielder choked up after Wednesday\u2019s win over the Marlins when talking about the police shooting of 29-year-old black man Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been very emotional just to kind of see this continually happ<\/a>en,\u201d Smith told reporters. \u201cI think the most difficult part is to see people still don\u2019t care. For this to just continually happen, it just shows just the hate in people\u2019s hearts. That just sucks. Being a black man in America is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

His message was heard throughout baseball: On Thursday, seven game<\/a>s, including the Mets-Marlins matchup, were postponed as players sought ways to shine a light on social<\/a> justice.<\/p>\n

Two of the Mets\u2019 NL East rivals, the Phillies and Nationals, agreed not to play Thursday. Philadelphia first baseman Rhys Hoskins, a leading voice in the team\u2019s decision, cited Smith\u2019s emotion as an important factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that doesn\u2019t hit you differently, it should,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause we\u2019re all human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s words carried weight throughout MLB clubhouses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been in a situation watching Dominic Smith last night, crying in an interview,\u201d Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty, who is of mixed race, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Thursday. \u201cI think about him and what he has gone through. \u2026 I\u2019ve never had to go through anything like that. To see Dom-O in tears like that, and kind of being alone out there. It\u2019s one of those things, trying to figure out a way to make a statement, as a group, in Major League Baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n

White Sox hurler Lucas Giolito, a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, found hope in Smith\u2019s words.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatching him up there talk about his experience, get emotional, it made me emotional, because that\u2019s a player that I respect,\u201d Giolito told reporters. \u201cThat\u2019s someone I\u2019ve known for a long time. And it\u2019s just really sad to see that he\u2019s just one example of so many people in this country that are not being treated fairly. It does give me hope seeing baseball players speaking up, standing up. But there\u2019s a lot more that needs to be done.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
