An in-ground camera at second base produced the highlight of the Detroit Tigers-New York Yankees game on Monday, June 22.
During the series opener at Comerica Park, the small camera embedded in the dirt near second base worked its way up out of the ground, exposed enough to stop play. While it took half a dozen people on the field to kick and tap the camera to figure out what to do, the Detroit broadcast duo of Jason Benetti and Roman Dirks leaned into the bizarre moment.
The broadcast showed the rogue camera's footage of the up-close view of Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm trying to bury it as Benetti and Dirks hilariously narrated the standoff.
"Hey get away from me..... Quit stepping on me!"
"I'm just trying to do my job here."
As Chisholm started piling infield dirt over the camera and the view was like that of someone being buried, it got funnier.
"No! No! No! I can't see."
"This is an obstructed view seat now"
The delay paused the game with the Tigers leading 3-1 and Gerrit Cole on the mound. Detroit went on to win 5-3.
