The clip was captured at an autograph appearance event by ‘Crave the Auto’ that was conducted in Chantilly, VA, on Saturday. The event was priced at $20 for adults but free for kids under the age of 10. It featured guests from the past and present of football and baseball.

Some of the big names on the guest list from baseball included Johnny Bench, Reggie Jackson, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., Brian Jordan and Patrick Mahomes Sr. Besides them, many football stars were also invited to the event, such as Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Shannon Sharpe, Xavier Worthy and Micah Parsons.

“@MicahhParsons11 !! Great Player! Good players talk about themselves, other people talk about great players.”

Parsons later reposted the tweet and wrote,

"Blessed to be with some legends today!”

Micah Parsons mocked for his claim about playing in MLB

Micah Parsons’ appreciation for baseball was well documented when he made some bold claims with Bleacher Report in June last year. When asked how he would fare if he played in 162 MLB games, five at-bats every game, Parsons responded that he could hit an average of 0.200.

When the interviewer informed Parsons that Dodgers star Mookie Betts hit 0.307 in 2023, he responded,

“That’s what I’m saying. I think I could be about .180 to .200.”

His response shocked many, including Houston Texans star C.J. Stroud, who called it, “delusion at its finest.” Dodgers star pitcher Tyler Glasnow dismissed Parsons’ claims as well.
