Philadelphia Phillies debut ‘Coldplay kiss cam' amid Andy Byron-Kristin Cabot fiasco
The Phillies were hosting the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
Reacting to the Phillies' 'kiss cam', one fan tweeted: "The "Coldplay Kiss Cam" has made it's debut at Citizens Bank Park 😂"
'The Phillies did their own kiss cam & played Coldplay… with a phanatic affair. 😭🤣,' another one added on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
'The Phillies had a kiss cam and had the Phillie Phanatic re-enact the Coldplay affair😂,' a third fan wrote.
This comes days after Coldplay's recent concert in Boston became the talk of the town. One viral clip from the gig showed frontman Chris Martin unintentionally putting a spotlight on a man and woman, who were seen on the jumbotron, standing draped in each other's arms.
The man and woman were soon identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot, respectively. When the camera focused on them, they ducked and attempted to hide their faces.
Chris Martin quipped, 'Oh look at these two... either they're having an affair or they're very shy.'
As the Astronomer execs faced flak on social media, it was revealed that Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, and the couple resides in New York.
Earlier on Friday, SportsCenter anchors, Gary Striewski and Randy Scott, enacted the infamous moment from the Coldplay concert. Scott wrapped his arms around Striewski's waist and the two swayed for a couple of seconds before Striewski covered his face and turned away.
'Uh, it's time to 'Kiss It Goodbye',' Scott said. "Baseball's probably not the only thing you could say that about recently.'

Power punch aplenty as Phillies open series against Yankees
Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge recently reached 350 career homers, not that the impressive milestones have kept their respective teams in first place of their divisions. HT Image While Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies are in striking distance of first place in the National League East, Judge and the New York Yankees have some work to do in their quest at returning to the top of the American League East. The teams clash Friday night when the Phillies visit the Yankees for the opener of a three-game series. Since June 18, the Phillies have lost their grip only briefly, with the most recent happening Wednesday when they fell a half-game back of the New York Mets. After the Mets beat the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies were unable to complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Boston Red Sox and fell 9-8 in 11 innings. Harper hit back-to-back home runs with Kyle Schwarber in the first inning to become the youngest active player to reach 350. He is hitting .323 (20-for-62) with five home runs and eight RBIs in 16 games this month. The Phillies squandered a five-run lead when the Red Sox scored six in the fifth inning. The Red Sox had just three total runs over the first two contests of the three-game series. "The offense was good tonight," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said after his team took its second loss in 18 games this season when scoring at least eight runs. "The bullpen was good. That fifth inning was just a killer, that's all." The Yankees still are trying to regain the form that led them to a 16-4 run in May that gave them a 35-20 record and seven-game lead atop the AL East. Since May 30, they are 21-26. New York is returning from a 3-3 road trip through Atlanta and Toronto after the break. After taking two of three from the Braves, the Yankees struggled defensively and lost twice to the Blue Jays. They trailed by four games in the AL East heading into MLB play Thursday. On Wednesday, Judge hit his 37th homer and 352nd of his career, but the Yankees committed four errors in an 8-4 loss. The Yankees made seven errors in the series, including two by shortstop Anthony Volpe. Jasson Dominguez, Jazz Chisholm Jr, Ben Rice and Max Fried committed errors resulting in a pair of unearned runs. It marked the third straight game the Yankees allowed at least two unearned runs and seventh time overall. "We haven't been playing that well on defense," Judge said. "We've got a lot of things we've got to clean up." Said manager Aaron Boone: "Giving them extra outs, whether it's through making an error or not making a play that we need to make, that's cost us in these two series up here. We've got to obviously tighten it up." An improved defense would help Yankees rookie right-hander Will Warren (6-5, 4.91), who is coming off his shortest outing since May 31. Warren last pitched on Saturday when he allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings before the Yankees rallied for a 12-9 win in Atlanta. Warren's lone previous start against the Phillies was his major league debut in 2024 when he allowed four runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings at Philadelphia. Right-hander Taijuan Walker (3-5, 3.75) will make his third start since rejoining Philadelphia's rotation. He is 2-4 with a 3.77 ERA in his 10 starts this season. After allowing one run in four innings July 8 at San Francisco, he allowed three runs on nine hits in four innings during a 9-5 win over the Angels on Saturday. Walker is 2-4 with a 4.47 ERA in nine career starts against the Yankees. --Field Level Media
