After nearly four months, San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer is set return from his league-mandated suspension following a physical altercation with his wife.
Baer took a leave of absence on March 3 and was later suspended without pay after a video was released showing his wife, Pam, falling to the ground from a chair screaming, "Oh my God!" after Baer reached over her to grab a cellphone she was holding.
After the altercation, which took place in a plaza in San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood and was witnessed by several people, Baer is seen with the phone saying, "Stop, Pam, stop," and then walking away alone.
"Our hundreds of Giants employees, millions of Giants fans and the community-at-large have been on my mind every day, and I am truly sorry for letting you down," Baer said in a statement released by the Giants on Saturday.
During his time away from the team, Baer has "participated in a regular counseling program and has recommitted himself to the organization," according to the statement. As part of his suspension, Baer was required to see an expert to determine a treatment and counseling plan.
