After breaking out of an 0-for-17 slump on Monday, the Cincinnati Reds outfielder, Jay Bruce, gave two notable gestures to teammates that happened to be caught on camera.

“It one of the more stupid things I’ve ever done,” he said. “It was an honest mistake. I wasn’t mad at anyone. It was a kidding-around thing. Nonetheless, it was a mistake that shouldn’t have happened. I have to be more professional than that. I want to apologize to the fans, my teams, ownership, everyone who supports me. I forgot where I was for a second. It was all in fun. But it’s not a funny thing to do. I do apologize. I’m not that kind of person when it comes to profanity.”

The 23-year-old is hitting .161 with a .235 on-base-percentage over 9 games with the Reds in 2010. You can see Bruce’s stats here.
