Baseball fans have fun with Fox’s power outage during World Series
Fox Sports had a worse day at Game 1 of the World Series than Mets center fielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Cespedes’ misplay in the first inning allowed Alcides Escobar to round the bases on an inside-the-park homer. In the fourth inning, Fox Sports lost power in its truck at Kauffman Stadium.
The TV feed went down for a while and the game was delayed because there was no replay available.
While the delay was no fun, the reaction to it was hilarious.
i’ll turn back on the power for the world series if you promise to watch my show at 10. #tosh
