It came to light on Tuesday, through the dogged reporting of ESPN’s Jeff Passan, that Philadelphia Phillies players on a couple occasions last season retired to the clubhouse, while a game was going on, to play them a little “Fortnite.”
Apparently it was great fun until the day first baseman Carlos Santana, with the Phils mired in a losing streak, ended the frivolities by taking a bat to the TV screen. https://embed.sendtonews.com/oembed/?fk=gSRFbr8q&cid=8161&sound=off&format=json&offsetx=0&offsety=0&floatwidth=400&floatposition=bottom-right&float=on
I know, I know. You pay big money to watch a game, only to find that the players were more invested in online virtual gaming than the real thing.
