MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal became the center of a viral incident during a postgame celebration when the Milwaukee Brewers were victorious over the St. Louis Cardinals. A video of an on-field collision between Rosenthal and the Brewers’ cameraman circulated online, triggering discussion across social media.

Addressing the incident directly, Rosenthal expressed his regret over the accidental collision with the Brewers’ team photographer, Scott Paulus. According to Rosenthal, the incident took place as he was trying to avoid a celebratory water dump on the player he was interviewing at the time. He stated that the collision’s interpretation was misguided by the national audience.

In regards to the incident, Rosenthal stated, “I felt awful about what happened.” He elaborated on his actions following the live broadcast, sharing that he approached Paulus, with whom he had worked previously, and offered a heartfelt apology. Under the pressure of the ongoing live broadcast, Rosenthal continued with his reporting duties.

Upon reviewing the circulating video of the incident, he acknowledged his reaction was unforeseen. Despite facing criticism on social media for his apology, he expressed hope for a promising future. He shared his anticipation for reuniting with Paulus, possibly sharing a laugh over the incident when their paths cross again in the playoffs.

The controversial incident took place after the Brewers’ victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Rosenthal found himself caught up in the traditional Gatorade bath celebration initiated by the teammates whilst conducting a live interview with Andruw Monasterio. In an attempt to avoid getting splashed with Gatorade, Rosenthal quickly moved back, accidentally tripping over the team photographer, Scott Paulus, and caused him to fall. This event contributed to what appeared to be an upset reaction from Rosenthal before returning to his interview, sparking criticism from fans and commentators alike.
