Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez cracked the perfect joke after he broke the Tampa Bay Rays' scoreboard at Tropicana Field.
Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez broke the scoreboard at Tropicana Field with a batting practice home run before the club's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.to reporters during his postgame media availability, if there was no video taken, how could anyone know it was him who broke the scoreboard?"Nah, you're trying to get me in trouble, you're the one that posted that picture," Alvarez said through his interpreter Jenloy Herrera.
When asked if he was denying his role in the scoreboard's damage, Alvarez continued to amusingly plead the fifth. "I don't know, if there's not a video, people are asking for video but if there's no video, I don't know who it was." One of Alvarez's batting practice home runs collided with the scoreboard and caused it to go dark for a moment, then resulted in a malfunctioning screen. The scoreboard was damaged for the duration of the game, but fans were able to view the game's score and at-bat counts on a smaller scoreboard in center field.
