Motorcycle Crash Ad Aired During Fernando Tatis Jr. In Bat Is Unintentional
No, the motorcycle accident commercial that aired during Fernando Tatis Jr.'s batting attack earlier this week was not done intentionally... TMZ Sports has learned.
Our sources tell us that while it looked like an intentional shadow cast over the Padres' star during the game...it was nothing more than a mere coincidence.
If you missed it, the incident happened on the broadcast of Minnesota's tilt against San Diego on Wednesday...when Tatis Jr. entered the batting box in the top of the third inning .
As he was digging...an advertisement appeared at the bottom of the screen, and it read: "Injured in a motorcycle accident?" He then provided a number to LawTigers.com, a law firm specializing in motorcycle accident cases.
At the moment, this felt like some kind of diss about Tatis Jr.... who was allegedly injured in a motorcycle accident in his native Dominican Republic in 2021.
But, despite the optics, our broadcast sources are adamant, it was all "absolutely unintentional".
Tatis Jr. didn't seem embarrassed either way...he hit a home run in the Padres' next game on Thursday.
