Tuesday night’s 2024 MLB All-Star Game featured a wrinkle not normally heard in baseball: mic’d-up players.
While playing for the National League All-Star team, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner made a fantastic diving play for an out while he was wearing a broadcast mic for Fox Sports.
His Phillies teammates Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm were also wearing mics, and we got to hear them root Turner on after landing the stellar out.
While we’re sure MLB players wouldn’t be too wild about wearing mics during actual games, the All-Star Game is the perfect opportunity to have some fun and let fans in on the process in real time.
"Well, it officially is the greatest play by a player that has wore the mic." 😎
