Jason Benetti goes viral for quip during Tigers-Nationals broadcast

During the first inning of the Tigers game against the Washington Nationals on September 21, play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti humorously linked a baseball statistic to a historical reference, sparking laughter among the broadcast crew. The moment became viral as a cameraman highlighted an advertisement that displayed the word 'GEEK' right after Benetti's comment, to which he responded with a deadpan remark. Although the teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, the interaction provided entertainment during what was described as a meaningless September game. Benetti is recognized for his versatility as the lead voice for NBC’s Sunday MLB broadcasts.
