Pam Baer also released a 2nd statement ... saying, “I would like to clarify the events of today. My husband and I had an argument in public about which we are quite embarrassed."
"I took his cellphone. He wanted it back and I did not want to give it back. I started to get up and the chair I was sitting in began to tip.

San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer was involved in a physical altercation with his wife at a public park Friday ... with his wife screaming as he knocks her to the ground -- and it was all captured on video.
Multiple people witnessed Baer and his wife, Pam, in a loud verbal argument around noon on Friday at a park in San Fran. At one point, Larry was trying to pry a cell phone out of Pam's hands, which she clearly did not want to give up.
During the struggle, Larry knocks Pam out of her chair and onto the ground -- you can hear her screaming, "Oh my god. Help!"
You can see Baer walking away from the altercation with the phone in his hand -- while telling his wife, "Stop. Pam, stop."
Pam continues to repeat, "Oh my god. Oh my god."
In between video clips, the person who shot the footage tells us he got involved and helped break up the altercation. Another witness corroborated that.
Witnesses tell us police were not called to the scene. Unclear if they were contacted after the altercation. We're reaching out.
We spoke with Pam on the phone who told us, "We were having a family fight about someone in my family and that's it."
We've also reached out to Baer's camp for comment. So far, no word back.
Baer has been involved with the Giants organization for decades. He was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012.
According to the Giants website, Baer and Pam co-chaired the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation Campaign Committee in support of the new hospital, which opened in 2016 as Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.
The wife of L.A. Dodgers star Justin Turner claims her beloved miniature pinscher was savagely murdered by a neighbor's German shepherd ... and now she's suing the guy for letting it happen.
Kourtney Turner -- aka Kourtney Pogue -- claims her pet, Dior, was chillin' at her L.A. home on Nov. 7, 2016, when a "vicious and aggressive" dog named Sonny got onto the property and attacked.
Kourtney claims the dog's owner knew Sonny got violent with other dogs -- and when he went after Dior, the man did nothing to stop it.
In the lawsuit, Kourtney claims she was too paralyzed by fear to jump in and save her 11-year-old pet ... and by the time the mauling was over, Dior had suffered fatal injuries.
Kourtney is not only suing for vet bills and other costs associated with Dior's death -- she also wants damages for pain and suffering, claiming she "relied upon the emotional support of Dior for her well-being."
After Dior passed away, Kourtney posted an emotional tribute to her friend ... saying, "Eleven years wasn't long enough, and to be honest, forever wouldn't have been either."
She added, "You taught me unconditional love & we will never ever forget you."
Kourtney now has a new dog, Moonshine -- who was born 1 month after Dior's passing.

"He let me know at dinner that he was taking me to see the Backstreet Boys... little did I know, the biggest surprise of them all was meeting them & then having them pull me onstage to be serenaded."

Ex-MLB star Milton Bradley is the suspect in a domestic violence investigation -- less than 2 years after he spent 15 months in jail for a previous incident.
TMZ Sports has learned ... cops were called to Bradley's L.A. home on Sunday where a woman told police the former MLB All-Star roughed her up during a heated argument.
39-year-old Bradley was not in the home when cops arrived. We're told the woman did not require medical attention.
Cops are investigating and are trying to get in touch with Bradley, ASAP.
Of course, Bradley has a well-documented history of domestic violence. In 2013, he was convicted of beating up his previous wife, Monique, and was sentenced to 32 months in jail.
According to the L.A. Country Sheriff's Dept. records, Bradley was released on August 24, 2016 after only 15 months.
Bradley played for 8 teams during his 11-year MLB career that started in 2000 and ended in 2011 -- including the Dodgers, Cubs, Rangers and Mariners. He reportedly made more than $46 MILLION.
Multiple attempts to reach Bradley were unsuccessful.

There might be another party to be tardy for very soon, because Brielle Biermann and her baseball playing BF aren't ruling out a spin-off show ... if the couple were to tie the knot.
We got Brielle and her beau, Michael Kopech -- a flamethrowing pitcher in the White Sox organization -- and after BB stopped dissing baseball (she likes football better) we asked about their future.
Specifically, are wedding bells and TV shows in their future?
If you're thinking these two 20-somethings are gonna rule it out, you're wrong -- they didn't -- which means only one thing ...
