Video of the incident between Baer and his wife was posted by TMZ last Friday:

Baer told the San Francisco Chronicle, “My wife and I had an unfortunate public argument related to a family member and she had an injured foot and she fell off her chair in the course of the argument. The matter is resolved. It was a squabble over a cell phone. Obviously, it’s embarrassing.”

The incident has been referred to MLB and the league says they intent to “immediately begin to gather the facts.”
