Baltimore Orioles commentator Kevin Brown has finally weighed in on his rather controversial suspension with a message that focused on the team. For those who may be unaware, Brown was suspended from appearing on Orioles games after making factual statements about the organization's defeats in the past. These comments reportedly rubbed Orioles owner, John Angelos, the wrong way.

Since then, members of the media from across the country have come out in favor of the suspended broadcaster. While he undoubtedly appreciated the support he received, he made it clear that he wants attention on the team. He also implies that the story we had been told thus far may not be the whole story.

He took to his personal Twitter account to release this statement, trying to take the spotlight of off him as much as possible.

Against all odds, the Baltimore Orioles are one of the top teams in MLB today, with a better record than the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers. Most impressive, they managed to reach those heights while remaining likeable and easy to cheer for.

Their young roster of homegrown talent had fans willing to look past ownership's recent blunders and failure to finance the team. They were enjoying the ride, until this suspension changed the narrative. Hopefully, they can recapture the underdog magic, now that things are returning to normal.
