When Sports Commentators Don’t Know the Game They are Commenting on
Mar 30th, 2008 by Brian A. Thomas
Got to love... "The pitch! And that happened. Apparently it was an S according to the board..." and many other great moments:
To be fair, the English commentator is doing a direct translation of the Japanese commentator... of course with how popular Baseball is there, I have to wonder how the Japanese commentator got his job. It appears that it was a singer/comedian, named John Mayer making fun of a Japanese broadcast, not doing a direct translation. The whole thing would be like me trying to do commentating for a Cricket match or something.
