Rays Fan Yelling 'I Got It' Causes Two Mixups for Tigers Fielders

Thomas DuffyJun 1, 2018

This week, one Tampa Bay Rays fan pulled the ol' "I got it!" trick.

In Wednesday's 8-7 loss, three Detroit Tigers players—second baseman Ian Kinsler, center fielder JaCoby Jones and right fielder Tyler Collins—were duped by voice from the stands on two occasions.

"I think the acoustics [of Tropicana Field] helped and the fact that there's not a huge number of people sitting in the stands," Brad Ausmus told Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. "Most of the time when you have a decent-sized crowd, it's all kind of white noise. All the noise kind of mixes together and nothing really stands out."

Ausmus wasn't complaining, though.

"It's fair game if you're a fan," he said. "I'm not blaming the fan or anything. He's within his rights to do that. We have to make the adjustment."

Maybe the fan learned from Alex Rodriguez, who pulled a similar move in 2007:
