Tmz : Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell has been placed on “administrative leave” — after he allegedly hurled several gay slurs at male fans during a game in San Francisco last weekend.
As we previously reported, a family of four — including two 9-year-old girls — went public with their accusations this week … claiming McDowell made several homophobic remarks toward fans at AT&T Park … and then mockingly proceeded to simulate gay sex with a baseball bat.
The father of the family claims he confronted McDowell — who allegedly responded by approaching him with the bat, and saying, “How much are your teeth worth?”
McDowell has since apologized for the outburst — but the Braves have suspended his coaching duties pending an investigation into the allegations.
