Baseball is a game that has always been filled with funny and amusing moments, and many MLB moments are often captured on TV broadcasts for all to enjoy. From players losing their cool on the field to broadcasters making hilarious comments, these moments are what make baseball so much more entertaining.
In a recent thread of posts on Instagram, MLB fans shared their funniest moments of the game being broadcast on television. Baseball fans are well known for their sense of humor and have a lot to say on the matter.
One of the funniest moments that has been shared by many MLB fans is the Bert Blyleven F-bomb on the live pregame. One fan wrote, "Bert Blyleven F-bomb on the live pregame”. Blyleven is a former pitcher and is currently a commentator for the Minnesota Twins.
During a pregame show, Blyleven had a slip of tongue and then went on to say, "We gotta do this f***ing thing all over again coz I just f***ed it up," thinking he was not on air. After realizing what he did, he comically remarked, "Oh we're live! I didn't know that."
Another funny moment that many MLB fans remember happened when Pete Rose was in the Philadelphia Phillies booth. One fan posted, "Pete Rose in the Phillies booth “he threw a c**k high fastball”.
The incident occurred when Rose was commentating on a Phillies game last year and sharing a story when he said “he threw a c**k high fastball.”
Viewers loved his genuineness and wealth of experience with the remarkable ability to make people laugh.
Yet another incident that a fan recalled was, "Keith Hernandez "I wasn't talking about the hotdog."
This refers to an incident where former Mets player Keith Hernandez was commentating on a Mets game and the Broadcast room was discussing the size of the $25 hotdogs being served to fans in the stands.
Hernandez proceeded to say, "I wasn't talking about the hotdog" while everyone was reacting to the large size of the hotdog.
There has been no shortage of memorable moments in the MLB and we can expect more
Other hilarious MLB moments picked among the fans were the "pizza incident" at Fenway Park involving Jerry Remy, when Mark Grace called his wife a "dingbat" on air, and when Jim Edmonds and Dan McLaughlin were talking about the dancers in Cincinnati. Many fans also expressed their love for veteran broadcaster Don Orsillo, who retired last year.
As we head into spring training in anticipation of the new MLB season, we can expect several more moments to remember. The Houston Astros will look to defend their World Series title while the likes of the New York Mets, the Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees, and the San Diego Padres will all fancy their chances.
