No-Hitter Etiquette, Pandemic Baseball

When People Get Too Passionate, Things Can Go Sideways

From Deadspin, Aug. 5, 2006: “A caller to Yankee announcer Michael Kay’s radio show took Kay to task for mentioning Chien-Ming Wang’s in-progress perfect game during a broadcast.

According to the caller, it’s against ‘baseball etiquette’ to do such a thing, but Kay vehemently disagrees. So vehemently, in fact, that the conversation then moves on to American slavery, putting ‘people in the ovens.’ And then he calls someone else stupid and infantile.”
