Roger McDowell over the top

Not a bad relief pitcher in his time, but I think he has to be fired as a coach after this:

“Justin Quinn, 33, of Fresno said he was in the stands at AT&T Park in San Francisco during pregame batting practice with his wife and 9-year-old twin daughters when he noticed McDowell hectoring three men and asking them, ‘Are you guys a homo couple or a threesome?’ Quinn said McDowell proceeded to make crude sexual gestures with his hips and a bat.

Quinn, who was down in front of the field, then shouted, ‘Hey, there are kids out here,’ he said during a news conference at the Los Angeles office of noted attorney Gloria Allred. Quinn alleged that the coach replied that kids don’t belong at a baseball park, picked up a bat, walked up to Quinn and asked him, ‘How much are your teeth worth?’

Quinn said he felt threatened and was unsure whether McDowell intended to hit him. ‘My kids are in panic mode … they’re like grabbing onto me,’ Quinn said. ‘I’m talking to him, trying to calm him down and the kids are screaming.'”

Oh man. When you’re in a hole (the homophobic taunts of fans), you’re supposed to stop digging. Then threatening to break the guy’s teeth with a baseball bat with his kids sitting right there, and scaring the kids?

By the way, what exactly are “crude sexual gestures with one’s hips”? I come from the naive fields of Iowa and am unfamiliar with such gestures.
