Ken Rosenthal Addresses Knocking Over Photographer After Brewers Win

Fox baseball reporter Ken Rosenthal has apologized for his now-viral second that occurred after the Milwaukee Brewers got here from behind to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals on Sept. 13.

Rosenthal was interviewing infielder Andruw Monasterio, who delivered the game-winning hit within the tenth inning, when some teammates poured a bucket of Gatorade over Monasterio, sending Rosenthal backward and knocking over Brewers staff photographer Scott Paulus within the course of. Rosenthal then appeared to stare down Paulus and made no effort to assist him again onto his ft.

Rosenthal explained what happened on a digital “Foul Territory” present Sept. 15, commenting on how he “accidentally bowled over” Paulus.

“When I looked at the video, when I saw this, I was surprised at how upset I appeared,” he stated. “I was more confused than anything.

“Now, I had to continue the interview. We were live, folks, on national television, couldn’t stop. And, that said, I felt awful about what happened.”

Rosenthal additionally stated he made certain to clear the air with Paulus, whom he is aware of.

“Afterward, I went up to Scott, whom I’ve worked with in (stadium camera) pits before over the years, and I apologized, and I apologized profusely because, let’s face it, I don’t think that you ever expect knocking someone down is going to happen in any particular situation,” he stated.

Rosenthal and Paulus might doubtlessly circle again later this fall. If the Brewers, who clinched a playoff spot the identical day the incident occurred, make the World Series, Rosenthal will probably be available for Fox, which can carry the video games.

“If I do see the Brewers in the World Series, I look forward to working with Scott again in the photo pit, and I also look forward to sharing a good laugh with him over this,” he stated.

Paulus himself seems to be over the incident. He posted a photoshopped model of the traditional picture of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston throughout their 1965 battle, with the Brewers within the background, on his Instagram web page on Sept. 14.

“Another professional sports photog’s challenge: show what an every day game is like to shoot,” he captioned the image. “Try to capture the moment, without being a part of the moment.”
