Overview
- An in-ground broadcast camera pushed up through the dirt behind second base and briefly stopped play during the bottom of the fourth inning Monday night at Comerica Park.
- Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. scooped and piled infield dirt on the exposed device while Detroit SportsNet announcers narrated the scene from the camera’s perspective.
- Grounds crew and players cleared the area and the delay lasted roughly five to six minutes before play resumed, with the Tigers going on to win 5-3.
- Dirt cameras are league-approved fixtures installed for close-up field angles and this incident shows how that equipment can occasionally surface and interrupt play.
- The moment generated viral social posts, including a cheeky Tigers tweet and the hashtag #ImWithDirtCam, and coverage focused on the broadcast banter rather than safety or league action.
