Longtime pitcher — and current TBS analyst — Pedro Martinez has apologized for his offensive joke about Native Americans.
Martinez was talking about the Cleveland Indians sweeping the Boston Red Sox before making a stereotypical Indian war cry.

“I used to hunt Indians, but now I’m going to pay tribute to Indians,” Martinez said before making the war cry.
Martinez would later apologize in a Tweet.
I send my apologies if I was misunderstood when I was trying to pay tribute to the Cleveland Indians on the TBS post season show.
