Major "Major League" blunder!

[Big Red]

This happened in Thursday's Pirates - Cubbies game!

With all the interference questions lately, could you call interference on the fireworks/music operator?!?

(Don't answer...very tongue-in-cheek rhetorical question!)

Even the announcer booted it badly! But the other announcer's call is classic: "Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh — we got a problem here."

You can read the player's lips as he comes off the field. Good thing the Pirates won.

Nothing else to add...story and video says it all, though the video missed the fist pump:
