Some fairweather fans may have missed it, but the Mets staged a dramatic come-from-behind 9th inning victory against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citifield last night. For those who were watching it on TV, you may have spotted a bumbling man take a seemingly hard fall in the middle of the 7th inning. According to Deadspin readers, the man in the video below is actually an SNY cameraman who sets the camera up to film himself stumbling. And it isn't the first time he's done it.
Yup, the same man also was caught on camera taking an exaggerated spill in August 2010, as you can see in the clip below. Who knows how many others times have not been spotted by viewers and disseminated on the internet! We guess we can now add "Take A Ridiculous Pratfall Night" to the list of our favorite Mets rejected promotional dates.
