"Blimey O'Reilly! Look at those bags under his eyes. Get some sleep, man!"

Confusion over the catcher's eye black is just the tip of the iceberg for this befuddled limey. Mistaking America's pastime for cricket and the scoreboard for an airport departures schedule, this British announcer fails spectacularly at calling a baseball game.
