Watching Sunday Night Baseball, Padres at Dodgers.
Machado of the Pads hits a homer, a guy in the center field stands catches it with his glove, then reaches into his pocket to get a different baseball, which he throws back out onto the field… the regular “get this outta here!” behavior of home fans.
ESPN sends their roaming reporter out to talk with the guy, who readily admits to making the switch.
“Everyone out here was high fiving me, so I got off scot free with the fans out here” - ie, the same fans who are surrounding him for this little interview.
“The only people who saw me do it were you guys” - ie, the national TV audience.
Grades:
-
Preparation - A+++ - had the glove and the extra ball, clearly had this thought out.
-
Execution - A- - caught the homer, a little obvious on the Switcheroo
-
Public Relations - F- - wildly poor situational awareness on who “you guys” are.
Well done, sir!

Those glasses were awesome, great for bright days. But after a few hours on the road, you look like you’re stoned out of mind - beet red eyes.
