After Adrian Beltre hit a solo home run in the second inning, the TBS camera feed went out after he rounded third base, and there was an audible gasp from the crowd. The imagination ran wild. Did Beltre bowl over the cameraman, Chris Chambliss-style, determined to get to home plate any way he could? Did the cameraman cave in to temptation and touch Adrian Beltre’s head, which is something that every single one of us would do if we had the chance?

Nah. He just ate it.
Now there’s no way to know just yet what Beltre said when he pointed at the cameraman. It was most likely some variation of, “Hey, you okay?” But there’s at least a 3% chance that Beltre did a full Nelson Muntz. Beltre is widely reported to be a class act and one of the nicer players in the game, but if he openly mocked the cameraman like that, I think we’d all understand.
