First baseball player taking a knee during anthem

A’s Bruce Maxwell just took a knee during anthem. He is the first in #MLB to do it. @sfchronicle @SFGate #baseball #Oakland #athletics https://t.co/xJMeAskC4z

Just FYI, the A's player who kneeled during anthem is the son of US soldier & was born on a base.
