Television analyst and former big-league manager Bob Brenly said Thursday he s taking a voluntary leave from the broadcast booth in the aftermath of his insensitive reference toward New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman.
Brenly has been under fire since referring to Stroman s durag during Tuesday s telecast. Beginning today, I have voluntarily decided to take some time off to listen, reflect and devote my attention to awareness training related to diversity and inclusion to enhance my understanding and appreciation of others, Brenly said in a statement to various media outlets. I plan to return to the booth next homestand, hopefully a better person.
