PHOENIX -- D-backs broadcaster Bob Brenly apologized on Wednesday following a comment he made about Mets starter Marcus Stroman’s du-rag during the broadcast of Tuesday night’s game at Chase Field.
“During last night’s game, I made a poor attempt at humor that was insensitive and wrong,” Brenly said in a statement. “I apologize to Marcus Stroman and have reached out directly to share those thoughts. I have had several conversations with the D-backs and we agree that seeking sensitivity training is an important step so that I can continue to learn from my mistakes in order to be better in the future.”
Stroman was pitching against the D-backs in the fourth inning when Brenly commented on air about the right-hander’s du-rag that he wears underneath his hat during starts.
“I’m sure that’s the same du-rag that Tom Seaver used to wear when he pitched for the Mets,” Brenly said on the broadcast.
Following Tuesday’s game, Stroman reacted on Twitter, stating: “Onward and upward...through all adversity and racist undertones. The climb continues through all!” The Mets right-hander also retweeted many comments of support.
Onward and upward...through all adversity and racist undertones. The climb continues through all! 🗣
Mets manager Luis Rojas said that when he heard of Brenly’s comment after the game, he was “disappointed immediately.”
“I think that when you’re in a platform in this game, when you have the chance to inform and educate throughout the game or after the game as an analyst or a broadcaster, you just have so many opportunities throughout a baseball game and throughout a season just to keep the audience active and fill them with baseball knowledge and all that. And it’s just not the case there,” Rojas said.
