Philadelphia Phillies announcer and longtime baseball star John Kruk put his foot in his mouth on Saturday night, and it’s going to cost him.
During the Phillies game in St. Louis, Kruk was talking about how he had never taken a trip to the St. Louis Arch and had no intention of ever doing so.
That conversation became relevant during an at-bat from Kyle Schwarber as he attempted to snap out of an extended hitless drought.
It was at that point that Kruk boldly proclaimed that if Schwarber homered during that particular at-bat he would finally make a journey to the Arch.
Two pitches later, this happened.
