The microphone of the statue was broken off, according to our news partners at WCPO.
A Cincinnati Reds spokesperson confirmed they are aware of the damage and are investigating the incident.
Brennaman expressed that the statue was one of his greatest honors, even more significant than his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
WCPO reached out to Cincinnati Police to see if they are investigating the damage, but they have not heard back.
