Veteran MLB Reporter Ken Rosenthal Criticized for…

Renowned Major League Baseball reporter, Ken Rosenthal, faced backlash after being perceived as ‘classless’ during a live TV broadcast. This criticism arose following the Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals game on Saturday night, September 13, 2025, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. After the Brewers’ comeback win, Rosenthal interviewed Brewers shortstop Andruw Monasterio. A video clip showing Rosenthal almost tripping over a cameraman, then giving him an annoyed look instead of helping, has made rounds on social media.

Critics highlighted an incident during the interview with Andruw Monasterio. Rosenthal nearly stumbled over a cameraman in the process, paused, seemingly glared at him, then moved away without lending a hand. Many online users deemed his actions as impolite and unprofessional. One social media user commented, “Dude, go over, reach down, give him a hand … Who the hell knocks someone over … shows no remorse … then shakes their head at him?!”

The halftime interview also featured jubilations, including a Gatorade bath, causing Rosenthal to maneuver quickly to avoid getting soaked, thereby leading to the controversial interaction with the cameraman. Fans have decimated social media with criticism, with most expressing disappointment and expecting better from an experienced reporter like Rosenthal. Some suggested that Rosenthal seemed irritated, possibly from the cameraman being too close, but asserted that annoyance does not justify not assisting someone who has fallen.
