On Tuesday night while Marcus Stroman was pitching for the Mets, Diamondbacks announcer Bob Brenly commented about the durag Stroman wears under his cap.
“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 posted a simple comment in response on Twitter.
Onward and upward…through all adversity and racist undertones. The climb continues through all! ud83dudde3

Stroman was also involved in a heated exchange of words during the game with Josh Rojas, which led to the benches clearing but nothing more.
