Speaking with the San Francisco Chronicle later in the day, Larry Baer stated: “My wife and I had an unlucky public argument related to a family member, and they had an injured foot, and they fell off her chair within the course of the argument. The count number is resolved. It became a quarrel over a cell phone. It’s embarrassing.”
In a personal apology issued late Friday, Baer added: “I am certainly sorry for the ache that I even have delivered to my spouse, children, and the agency. It does not reflect the kind of person I aspire to be. However, it passed off, and I will do something necessary to make certain that I in no way behave in such an inappropriate manner again.”
In a joint declaration through the Giants, the couple said they had a “heated argument in public over an own family remember,” the Chronicle reports. “We are deeply embarrassed by the scenario and have resolved the difficulty,” they said.
Major League Baseball said it became aware of the incident and planned to research in its very own assertion. “Just like another state of affairs like this, [we] will without delay begin to collect the facts,” the assertion examines. “We have no similar remark till this system is completed.”
The Chronicle reports that police were no longer referred to for the duration of the incident, but officials subsequently canvassed the place and spoke to witnesses. Those who saw the argument advised the Chronicle that the couple’s “emotional” case lasted about 20 mins.
Baer has a protracted history with the Giants, joining in 1980 as their advertising and marketing director and finally ascending to the role of team president in 2008. He was named chief executive officer in 2012 and is described as the team’s “manage” man or woman on troubles ranging from day-to-day operations to enterprise-wide matters.
