Los Angeles Angels pitching coach and former New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway stands accused of incessant, inappropriate sexual advances toward women in sports media.
Five women who have covered or worked with Callaway spoke with The Athletic’s Brittany Ghiroli and Katie Strang, describing Callaway’s behavior as “completely unrelenting” and “gross.”
“He just preyed on women,” one accuser said. Callaway’s behavior was “the worst-kept secret in sports,” said another.
The women who spoke with The Athletic chose to remain anonymous. They accuse Callaway of repeated unwanted advances including sending shirtless photos via text, requesting nude photos, making comments on their dress and appearance and sticking his crotch in one reporter’s face during a one-on-one interview.
