Baseball fans got a surprise before Game 1 of the World Series. Just before the Dodgers faced the Blue Jays, Fox Sports had a strange technical glitch that left viewers confused.
As announcer Joe Davis began his pre-game talk, the main camera started zooming in and out uncontrollably, leaving Davis and Hall of Famer John Smoltz out of frame. It was a bizarre moment for a network that’s been broadcasting the World Series smoothly since 2000.
The glitch only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to cause a stir online. Clips quickly went viral, turning the opening moments into a meme-worthy moment.
