Mets’ Marcus Stroman Calls Out ‘Racist Undertones’ In Comments Made By Diamondbacks Broadcaster Bob Brenly

Bally Sports Arizona commentator Bob Brenly made comments about Stroman’s head covering during the fourth inning, which Stroman took exception to on Twitter saying the comments had “racist undertones.”
