Overview
- A Pirates fan was filmed groping his female companion during a close-up of Jake Mangum’s 10th-inning at-bat in Thursday’s Pirates–Nationals game at PNC Park.
- Moments later, Mangum grounded into a game-ending double play as Washington won 8–7, leaving Pittsburgh at 11–8.
- The footage spread quickly on social media, and outlets reported it is unclear whether the pair knew they were on camera.
- On the broadcast, the woman appeared to laugh and briefly move the man’s arm away as the exchange lasted only a few seconds.
- As of the reports, there were no identifications, arrests, or team or league disciplinary actions, and coverage compared the clip with prior on-camera groping or sexual incidents at MLB games.
