Kansas City Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie took to twitter to apologize for a t-shirt he wore to a post game press conference after defeating the Baltimore Orioles in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Guthrie who pitched for the Orioles from 2007 to 2011 wore a shirt that read “These O’s ain’t Royal.”
My intention was not to anger O's fans or friends w/my shirt 2night.I apologize to those offended.Did not consider this reaction.Go Royals.

“My positive feelings for the Charm City, O’s organization, my former teammates and O’s fans is well documented,” Guthrie tweeted later in a tweet that has since been deleted via the Baltimore Sun. “Nothing I wore [Tuesday night] changes that.”
Guthrie pitched five innings allowing one run and three hits in Tuesday’s game before giving way to the Royals bullpen. The Royals can close out the series with a win on Wednesday afternoon.
