We have seen many awesome fan catches in Major League Baseball history. However, yesterday’s catch at the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays might be one of the most memorable.
It was the top of the 9th inning, after a long game for Rays’ fans (because they lost 9-2), when a foul ball flew into the stands behind right field. A fan, who not only had great seats right behind the line, but was also given the chance to catch it and bring home a souvenir ball. And he went for it.
Boy, did he go for it. As did his pants, which fell down as he fell down, exposing his butt to everyone in Tropicana Field and on camera.
But at least he got his ball! And Artemis III has a new moon to circle.
Now you might say, he made the biggest ass of himself during the game. But I say it was the Rays, who were down by 7, who made bigger asses of themselves.
The moral of the story is that if you can’t do the 7th inning stretch without your pants falling down, then wear a belt. And more importantly, underwear. That is, unless you want everyone to see your Sweet Caroline. On a positive note, at least they didn’t see his cracker jacks.
The Oscars were a month ago, and now we know when the next two shows will be. The 99th Oscars will be held on March 14, 2027, and the big 100 will be on March 5, 2028.
The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences did not name who would be hosting. But I am hoping they ask Conan O’Brien next year and then Billy Crystal for the big milestone one.
Not only will that be the 100th one, but it will also be the last one that airs on ABC and takes place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. So, it has to go out big!
That is not the only award show to announce its 2027 date; the Screen Actors Guild will take place on February 28th.
