MLB fans were left with an awkward silence after an encounter between fans was caught on camera.
While the Athletics broadcasters were speaking, cameras cut to a fan who proceeded to grab a woman’s chest.
The couple appeared to know they were on camera, and were immediately cut away from.
After the moment, no one dared talk on the broadcast.
“You are a handful, Chris,” the color commentator said shortly after.
What followed was 22 seconds of silence before Rangers third baseman Jush Jung flew out.
Play-by-play broadcaster Chip Caray was seemingly trying to hold in his laughter during the silence, as he chuckled through the pop-up call.
He then delivered an incredible line referencing the earlier scenes as the inning went to commercial.
“That’ll end the inning, A’s down by a few,” he said.
“We’ll try to grab a couple back.”
