Fox accidentally shows Pittsburgh skyline during Cincinnati Reds game
Share this post:
Pittsburgh made a surprise appearance on Fox Saturday night during a nationally televised Cincinnati Reds’ game.
The network accidentally showed a shot of Pittsburgh’s skyline — not Cincinnati’s — along with text that read “Chicago White Sox at Cincinnati Reds,” according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer blasted Fox for the mistake on Twitter.
The people of Cincinnati and @reds fans everywhere deserve better than having a Pittsburgh skyline shown pre game tonight. That’s really bad, @MLBONFOX

Former Reds pitcher and current Reds Radio broadcaster Danny Graves agreed.
They’re basically saying “who cares?!” Whoever’s in charge of this production should be fired for allowing that to show!

However, Graves made it clear he didn’t have a problem with Pittsburgh’s skyline, just Fox’s error.
I know! They should be embarrassed for this broadcast. I love Pittsburgh’s skyline too, but seriously did they think no one would notice?!

The Reds beat the White Sox 7-3.
