This gives new meaning to the end of the innings.
In the first inning of Monday night’s game between the A’s and the Rays, Oakland’s Sean Murphy stuck his rump out when a ball thrown by Tampa pitcher Chris Mazza caught him in the butt.
The moment naturally caught social media attention as the crowds soon took a toll on the catcher’s fortune.
“Sean Murphy’s booty is going to destroy the internet,” one fan tweeted another wrote“For those who think baseball is boring, please allow Sean Murphy to respond with that booty ball.”
A user also written“Does Sean Murphy know baseball twitter spends the night staring at his butt?”
Murphy’s teammate, second baseman Tony Kemp, also re-shared the now-viral clip on his feed, adding, “Murph got 🍰 🍰.”
The A’s went on to demolish the Rays 13-2, with Murphy, 27, contributing his first career treble.
The A’s meet the Rays again Tuesday night in the second game of the series.
