Baltimore Orioles broadcaster Kevin Brown and his reported suspension has dominated the sports media cycle this week. Now, the announcer is speaking for the first time.
In a series of tweets, Brown shared that as a storyteller, he never wanted “to be a part of the story”.
“Unfortunately, recent media reports have mischaracterized my relationship with my adopted hometown Orioles,” Brown wrote. “The fact is that I have a wonderful relationship with the organization, and our ownership and front office has fully supported me since 2019 when I first came aboard.
“I ask that everyone disregard the distracting noise of the past few days. I have worked closely with O’s SVP Greg Bader for the past four years, and John Angelos and I have a solid dialogue based on mutual respect. We are all good here in Birdland!”
Brown was reportedly suspended after noting the club’s poor results in previous seasons against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It is expected that Brown will return to the broadcast booth for this evening’s game against the Seattle Mariners.
