Cameron Maybin
The world of sports is indeed a bizarre one. More to add to it was 15-year-old MLB veteran Cameron Maybin who brought silence all around National TV with his highly controversial and unnecessary sexual remark. While fans are aware that he has touched a baseball enough times in his life, his own admission about the same fact sounded strange.
To those who are not aware, Cameron Maybin was in the YES Network broadcast alongside Ryan Ruocco for Yankees vs Mariners showdown on Wednesday. When in the second innings, a zoomed in clip of a particular player rubbing the baseball was showed, Maybin decided to pass an unnecessary comment which not only shocked his partner but million across the State.
“Mesmerizing,” Ruocco said before he perfectly set Maybin up for an interesting quip by asking, “you ever sit there and do that?”. “Yeah, I was a bat boy for two years” Cameron Maybin answered. “So, yeah, I’ve rubbed up quite a few balls in my life.”
Cameron Maybin caused an 18 second silence on air with his comment
It definitely isn’t very fair to assume the 18 seconds of silence that followed Cameron Maybin’s “I’ve rubbed up quite a few balls in my life,” was caused by uncontrollable laughter in the booth. Because as much as we all like to pretend we’re mature, some immaturities just can’t be helped.
Unlike different American sporting league, baseball gives it timely intervals where the commentators do share their piece of mind. However it is fair to add that Cameron Maybin made the most of that particular chance, to grab the limelight. His admission saying, “I’ve rubbed up quite a few balls in my life,” caused by uncontrollable laughter in the booth.
Although, as much as we all like to pretend we’re mature, some immaturities just can’t be helped.
“I’m sure it was a good learning experience,” Ruocco said to finally break the silence.
This wasn’t quite Ruben Amaro Jr. claiming Pete Rose had the “hardest wood I’ve ever touched” during a Philadelphia Phillies broadcast. It also wasn’t Pedro Martinez informing the national TBS audience that “I dictate how I want my balls rubbed up.” But what made Cameron Maybin’s accidental innuendo perfect was the 18 seconds of silence that followed.
