Red Sox Blooper Reel Features Pedroia, Victorino, Gomes And Co. Flubbing Lines
BOSTON (CBS) -- Players in Major League Baseball are the very best in the world at what they do, and the defending-champion Boston Red Sox are the best of the best when it comes to playing baseball.
When it comes to reading lines on camera, though ... they could use a little work.
The Red Sox released a blooper reel from the team's photo day, an annual rite of spring training when players pose for photos and read lines for various things, like scoreboard announcements and radio promotions.
For guys that have no problem turning on a 94 mph heater, they sure do have a lot of trouble reading while on camera.
