Homophobic and racist tweets written by Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader flooded the internet on Tuesday night after Hader allowed a three-run home run to the Mariners’ Jean Segura in the eighth inning of the MLB All-Star Game.

Hader apologized for the tweets, which were written six and seven years ago, in the locker room after the game.

Said Hader: “I was just 17 years old. I was a child. I was immature and I said some things that were inexcusable. It does not reflect on the person I am today. Obviously when you’re a kid you tweet what’s on your mind. There’s no excuse for what was said. I’m deeply sorry for what was said.”

Members of Hader’s family, who were in the stands, removed jerseys they were wearing that had his name on the back and replaced them with generic jerseys.
