Giants release a statement regarding its co-owner’s donation to Cindy Hyde-Smith

Over the weekend news broke that both Major League Baseball's political PAC and one of the part-owners of the San Francisco Giants made donations to the campaign of U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Major League Baseball, facing immediate blowback on Saturday night, issued a hasty — and, frankly, poor — statement yesterday morning saying it was asking for the donation to be returned. It has not said why the donation was made in the first place.
