Bob Brenly apologizes for 'insensitive' Marcus Stroman comment

Television analyst Bob Brenly has apologized for a comment he made about Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman's head covering in Tuesday night's game.

Stroman tweeted that the comment had "racist undertones."

Brenly, the former World Series-winning manager who now calls Diamondbacks games for Bally Sports Arizona, made a crack about Stroman's attire during the fourth inning Tuesday.

"Pretty sure that's the same durag that Tom Seaver used to wear when he pitched for the Mets," Brenly said during the telecast.

After the game, Stroman tweeted, "Onward and upward...through all adversity and racist undertones. The climb continues through all!
