Keith Hernandez Question on Grimace at Baseball Game
- Keith Hernandez had a question about Grimace at the Coors Field baseball game.
- During the Mets vs. Rockies game in Denver, Keith Hernandez asked who the costumed Grimace was rooting for.
- The playful observation added a light-hearted moment to the baseball broadcast.
During a recent Mets-Rockies game at Coors Field, Keith Hernandez, the Mets' legendary analyst, made headlines for his offbeat commentary regarding a costumed Grimace spotted in the crowd. While SNY play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen inquired about the character's allegiance, Hernandez diverted the conversation to the woman accompanying the Grimace, humorously questioning if she was the character's date. Cohen quickly intervened, attempting to steer the dialogue away from Hernandez's suggestive remark. This incident is not an isolated one for Hernandez, who has a history of making awkward and risqué comments during broadcasts. Earlier this year, he drew attention for his enthusiastic remarks about Texas Rangers cheerleaders, and last season, he made a questionable comment about the importance of being "erect" when making contact in baseball, which was met with an uncomfortable silence from his co-host. In a particularly memorable moment from 2017, Hernandez mistakenly believed the broadcast had cut to commercial when he made an inappropriate remark about former Nationals pitcher Tanner Roark, stating, "Roark’s been getting his tits lit," which raised eyebrows among viewers. As the Mets prepare to face the Mariners in Seattle this weekend, fans and commentators alike are left wondering what Hernandez might say next, as his unpredictable commentary continues to generate buzz in the sports community.
