worst announcer ever
From the "Awful Announcing" blog: A musician named John Mayer was apparently announcing one of the Red Sox-A's games in Japan last week. Why, it's not clear, since he doesn't actually know a thing about baseball.

I'm with the blogger, "And that happened," is the bestest catch phrase ever....

Current Mood: amused
Current Music: "Radar Love" by Golden Earring

Alas. I like some of his music very well indeed (He sings the sappy but delicious emo ballad "You're Body is a Wonderland") but I deeply regret they let him do this to baseball.

"And That Happened" *LMAO*

Definitely up there with the best..

Also "He has a blue light and a yellow light" as well as "that's an S"

John Mayer is a funny guy (not a big fan of his music, but his blog occasionally cracks me up), so I suspect hwat happened is the Japanese dragged him into doing it and he truly had no idea what the hell he was doing so just decided to run with it. Too funny.

I think the worst was at the start when he said something like "and the person who is pitching will start off the inning". He doesn't know the word "pitcher"?

I actually get the impression that's he's trying to be funny, trying to be the worst announcer he could possibly be. I don't know why, but I listened to it twice, and I think it's a joke.

I read this and thought "Huh, I don't see what's so funny about 'And that happened,'" and then I clicked through to the video and now I can't stop giggling.
