Orioles play-by-play television announcer Kevin Brown will return to the booth on Friday night when Baltimore takes on Seattle. According to multiple reports, Brown was inexplicably suspended by the club from his role at the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) for his recitation of facts surrounding the club’s recent struggles playing on the road at Tampa Bay.
Brown released a statement ahead of his return to the booth, while explaining his recent absence as the O’s lead announcer.
“O’s fans - I’m a storyteller,” Brown’s statement began. “And never want to be a part of the story. The most compelling story in baseball right now is the story of the league-leading Baltimore Orioles - the best, most exciting young team in the American League. Unfortunately, recent media reports have mischaracterized my relationship with my adopted hometown Orioles.
