While I do enjoy watching baseball on TV, there’s nothing quite like watching the game live. There’s just something so very special about being in the stadium where all the magic happens. Sitting with thousands of other fans in team gear, bellowing chants, eating overpriced hotdogs and Cracker Jack, hoping to catch a foul or home run ball… so many great memories!
But I’ve always had mixed feelings about all the live cameras at these events. Whether they’re broadcasting on the JumboTron (you know, the gigantic screen at the stadium) or on live TV, the cameramen like to point their cameras at the fans sitting in the bleachers. Typically, they’ll capture a candid moment before the fans realize they’re on TV, at which point they’ll wave to the camera and everyone watching.
As you might imagine, however, it doesn’t always go that way. Sometimes the fan will be completely oblivious to the camera, and they’ll be caught in rather embarrassing moments. Sometimes the fan will realize that they’re on camera but react in a very nervous and awkward way. But sometimes a fan will do something completely unexpected and end up going ridiculously viral all over the internet.
At the College World Series game between the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and the TCU Horned Frogs, one boy gave the ESPN cameraman a reaction that left everyone in stitches! The commentators just couldn’t get enough of this kid, while his mom was completely oblivious to what was happening right beside her!
