Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos has a knack for hitting home runs at awkward moments.
It was Castellanos who was at bat last August in Kansas City when Reds announcer Thom Brennaman was attempting to apologize for being caught using a homophobic slur and interrupted himself to call Castellanos’s solo dinger.
“From the bottom of my heart, I am so very, very sorry,” Brennaman said somberly. “I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith—as there's a drive into deep leftfield by Castellanos. It will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.
