Giants President & CEO Larry Baer "pulled his wife out of a chair and caused her to fall to the ground" in a S.F. plaza on Friday morning, an incident "captured on video by a witness and under investigation by city police." The video released by TMZ shows Baer "stepping over his wife, Pam, as she sits in a chair in the plaza in Hayes Valley." She screams, "Oh, my God, no, help!" as Baer appears to try to grab a phone out of her right hand. She "hangs on to the phone, her chair tips, and she falls to her back." Baer later in an interview said, "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." Later Friday, the pair "issued a joint statement through the Giants." Hours later, the team "sent a 'follow up statement.'" Then, Pam Baer "sent out a statement of her own." MLB also issued a statement, saying the league "is aware of the incident and, just like any other situation like this, will immediately begin to gather the facts" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 3/2).
