Report: MLB hid ex-exec’s misdeeds

Three strikes, you’re not out.

Bob Bowman, a top executive for Major League Baseball, left his position last month with a slew of bombshell allegations surrounding him, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Bowman, the architect of MLB Advanced Media, has a long history of accusations MLB allegedly was aware of, but two incidents in recent months led to his departure. Bowman is accused of pushing an executive for the Fenway Sports Management, the Red Sox’s parent company, and verbally abusing an employee in October.

“I would say that [the October] incident was the culmination of a variety of issues that had gone on over a period of time, and it precipitated a conversation in which Bob and I agreed that the best thing for him to do was to leave,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told the paper.

However, Bowman’s alleged misdeeds run deeper. According to the report, Bowman propositioned female employees, had consensual relationships with subordinates and fostered a drinking atmosphere among employees.

At the 2016 All-Star Game in San Diego, MLBAM reportedly hosted a party where women believed to be escorts were hired to entertain guests, the Journal reported.

“The culture that started at BAM was hard working and driven. At times, it was also inappropriate and I take full responsibility,” Bowman told the Journal in a statement. “This inappropriate behavior reflects my personal flaws and not someone else’s. This behavior and my personal behavior were wrong.

“To those who felt the sting of my behavior, I am truly sorry. To my family, friends and business colleagues who have been steadfastly supportive of me, and whom I have embarrassed, I apologize.”
