Baseball coach Ryan Christenson of the Oakland Athletics has apologised for a gesture that looked like a Nazi salute,. "What I've done is unacceptable and I apologize deeply," said the bench Coach of the team from the American MLB said in a statement.

The 46-Year-old was congratulated after the 6:4 win for the Athletics on Thursday (local time) against the Texas Rangers players Liam Hendriks with a Coronavirus-times major Elbow strike, but then the Hand just stretched out.

"My gesture has led unintentionally to a racist and terrible greeting," said Christenson. The former professional Major League Baseball insisted that he had no radical right-wing views.
