The Orioles’ decision to suspend play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown over mundane comments he made on air about the team’s struggles against the Rays in recent years was met with disdain and confusion by the baseball world. On Tuesday, Baltimore fans got their first chance to express their opinions on the matter at the ballpark during the team’s game against the Astros, and they didn’t let it go to waste.
Fans banded together to unleash a bellowing chant of “Free Kevin Brown” during the seventh inning. The chant could be clearly heard on the TBS television broadcast and even prompted the broadcast crew to comment on it as the game was going on.
