MLB Announcer Flushes 'Beloved' Broadcast Feature Away In 1 Sweet Sendoff
HuffPost
The baseball broadcaster refused to dump on the "unforgettable" graphic as he bid farewell to an on-screen "legend."
Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Friday got a far-from-crappy tribute to an on-screen graphic that totally looked like it read “poop” when the two teams played each other in recent years.
The infamous “scorebug” — or a graphic that shows scores during broadcasts — first appeared on fans’ screens in 2022 on NBC Sports Philadelphia, the TV home of the Phillies.
Essentially, Phillies-Pirates games began 0-0 and the score was sandwiched between both teams’ “P” logos. Fans quickly noticed that the graphic read “P00P” up until the moment either of the Major League Baseball squads scored.
But the potty humor was flushed down the toilet at the end of the 2024 season, per AwfulAnnouncing.com, as NBC Sports Philadelphia launched a new graphic for Phillies’ Spring Training games that instead featured abbreviations of each team’s names.
While NBC Sports Philadelphia+ (which airs bonus coverage of games) still featured a graphic that read “P00P” at times earlier this year, baseball fans were down in the dumps about saying goodbye to the scorebug on the main network.
