july 20 2020 Several San Francisco Giants players and coaches, including new manager Gabe Kapler, took a knee during the playing of the national anthem Monday night before the team's exhibition game against the Bay Area-rival Oakland A's.
Confirmed to be joining Kapler in taking a knee, per multiple reporters, were Jaylin Davis, coach Antoan Richardson, Austin Slater and Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
Kapler, 44, is the first MLB manager to take a knee during the anthem.
He told his Giants team he would be taking a knee before the contest. "I wanted them to know I wasn’t pleased how our country has handled police brutality," Kapler said.
"I told them I wanted to amplify their voices and amplify the voice of the Black community, and marginalized communities as well.''
The practice of taking a knee during the anthem gained mainstream attention in 2016 when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began to do so to protest police brutality and racial and social injustices. Bruce Maxwell, a former MLB player, took a knee during the anthem while playing for the Athletics in 2017.
