The Media Drop

After a little bit of an incident on the air during Friday night’s A’s-Tigers baseball game on FOX, baseball broadcaster and former Major Leaguer Steve Lyons was fired by the network over the weekend. “Psycho,” as he is fondly referred to by those in and out of the game, is most notably known for forgetting where he was, and taking his pants off at a base during a game quite a few years back, in an effort to get the dirt of them. In this case, Lyons misstepped when commenting on fellow boothmate Lou Pinella’s use of a few words in Spanish, which apparently wasn’t received well by FOX management. [via Netscape]
