Re: Favorite Uncomfortable Sports Broadcasting Moments
A classic moment occurred at the home run derby from maybe 4 years ago. Sosa was up, and Curt Schilling was a guest in the booth with Chris Berman and Joe Morgan. Berman introduces Sosa and the camera focuses on Sosa getting ready to hit. With their mics still on, you hear Schilling whisper something to berman and Morgan and then he says, "He [Sosa] has to say it, right? Bazeball been berry berry goot to me.(in a horrible imitation of Sosa's accent)". Both Berman and Morgan start cracking up, and as the camera shows the three at their booth, Berman realizes that they are on-the-air and he gets this frightened look and quickly tries to shush both Schilling and Morgan's laughter.
It was a classic moment. Definitely perpetuates Schilling's persona as an a-hole.

Re: Favorite Uncomfortable Sports Broadcasting Moments
Also another Nascar classic...
Rusty Wallace was aksed how he felt about Jeff Gordon's wife (now ex-wife) sitting in with the pit crew during their races. Wallace responded something like, "I think it's ridiculous. My wife is up in the stands where she belongs!". This is what I have been told, so this may or may not have actually occurred during an actual broadcast. Still pretty funny though.

[/ QUOTE ] It was Schilling's tone... he was definitely mocking Sosa. I know he is a joker and everything, but it just seemed mean to me.

[/ QUOTE ] As someone who watched the Cubs when Sosa was around "Baseball been berry gooy to me" and "I like to heet dee home run." was my favorite thing about Sosa. I don't think Schilling was trying to be mean/racist/whatever, just funny.

(My dad claims this line was actually spoken by former Cardinal Orlando Cepeda.)
