Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles Wednesday disavowed comments made by designated hitter Luke Scott alleging President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.

Scott, in an interview with Yahoo! Sports at baseball's annual winter meetings, said Obama "does not represent America" and that "he was not born here," echoing the beliefs of the conservative group known as "birthers."

"Luke Scott's comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization," Orioles Communications Director Greg Bader said in an e-mail to MLB.com. "The fact is that Barack Obama is our president, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story."
