WATCH: MLB broadcasting booth makes epic on-air gaffe by misreading fan's "I'm a Mormon" T-shirt

During Monday night's game against the Washington Nationals at Chase Field, Arizona Diamondbacks play-by-play announcer Steve Berthiaume had a major goof-up. The experienced announcer apparently misinterpreted a T-shirt's print while talking about some fans enjoying themselves at the ballpark.

Near the warning track, a few baseball fans were spotted cheering for their respective teams during the live broadcast. One of them was wearing a one-of-a-kind T-shirt with the print saying, "I can't, I'm Mormon." However, somehow Berthiaume read it differently, as he rather thought that it was "I can't, I'm a moron."

"All right, I found my new favorite T-shirt ever. The guy on the right, 'I Can't I'm a moron' there it is on tape and everything," Berthiaume said during the live broadcast.

Dalton Feely from Jomboy Media shared the clip on social media, which went viral in no time.

What Steve Berthiaume interpreted as "moron," was actually written "Mormon," referring to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 and accepting the Book of Mormon.

"Poor Steve, I'm so sorry 😂," one fan wrote.

A few made some religious references and trolled Steve Berthiaume.

Fan Reactions

The 56-year-old baseball broadcaster has been calling games for the Diamondbacks since 2012. During his time with ESPN, he previously called College World Series matchups.

As far as Monday night's contest between the Nats and the D-backs is concerned, the home team won the game 9-8 after Diamondbacks hitter Corbin Carroll scored five runs to register a walk-off victory in front of the home crowd.
