In an espn.com piece about Japan's win against Cuba in the WBC championship game Monday, Stark wrote that Cuban manager Higinio Velez ``spent the first inning managing like his raft was on fire, and it didn't work out too caliente [hot].'' Stark, reached on his cellphone Thursday, said, ``I apologize to anyone I may have offended. I really feel badly that I wrote that. I regret it. I will never do it again.'' Stark, who is known for taking a humorous approach in his writing, was referencing the fact that Velez used three pitchers in the first inning.
