Published: May 22, 2008
New York Mets manager Willie Randolph issued an apology Wednesday to team ownership, the club's TV network and players "for the unnecessary distraction" he created by suggesting he was portrayed in a different manner than white managers.
Randolph, the Mets' first black manager, said he wasn't asked by Mets management to issue the apology. "I shouldn't have said what I said. It was a mistake. As simple as that. It was a mistake."
YANKEES: Chien-Ming Wang has a mild strain of his right calf but is not expected to miss a start.
