Victor Robles drew attention over the weekend after being called out by Madison Bumgarner for admiring a home run while down 7-1 late in Saturday’s game. Following the game, the Washington Nationals outfielder was called a clown by the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher.
Robles responded on Sunday by wearing a clown nose in his team’s dugout.
Just when you thought the story might be over, Baseball-Reference got involved.
The online baseball database changed Robles’ photo on his profile page. They replaced the photo with an image of Robles wearing the clown nose.

Nice.
Robles is a career .236 hitter with lots of strikeouts, good speed and limited pop. The clown nose incident may go down as what he’s forever known for by baseball fans.
