OAKLAND, Calif. -- Major League Baseball has been in touch with the Oakland Athletics about their bench coach making a gesture that appeared to be a Nazi salute following a win over the Texas Rangers.
No discipline has been announced against coach Ryan Christenson, who has apologized for the gesture.
"Ryan Christenson is fully supported by everybody in our clubhouse and they know who he is. So do I. Obviously it didn't look great but that was not his intent at all. I know that for a fact," manager Bob Melvin said Friday before a game against Houston.
