Despite getting blowback for using an anti-gay slur over the weekend, the support for Jarren Duran has been astronomical.

The Boston Red Sox outfielder was caught using an anti-gay slur at a heckling fan during the game against the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Duran made the remark as he stepped to the plate in the sixth inning. A fan shouted at him that he needed a tennis racket. The player yelled back, "Shut up," followed by the slur.

Duran apologized, but he still served a two-game suspension – his game checks for Monday and Tuesday will be donated to PFLAG, a nonprofit that supports the LGBTQ+ community.

The 27-year-old has burst onto the scene this year, earning his first All-Star nod, so Duran jerseys have been rather popular around Fenway Park.

However, expect to see many more of them just about everywhere – Duran's jersey, at the time of publishing, is the top-selling jersey on the online MLB shop.

Shohei Ohtani jerseys make up the next three spots, and five of the next eight – the customizable Dodgers jersey ranks fifth, while customizable Padres jerseys rank seventh and eighth.
