This is the most awkward first date we’ve ever seen…

If you’re taking a girl to a game, don’t write a giant sign telling the TV directors.

09/05/12 1,369 Views 1 Comment

WHEN A NETWORK crew has to broadcast more than 150 games in a baseball season, sometimes they have to get creative to fill three hours.

Such was the case last night in Arizona.

In the 8th inning, the Diamondbacks were losing 6-0 to the St. Louis Cardinals. Things weren’t going well for the home team, and it was late. The perfect combination for a broadcast to take a left turn.

That’s when the TV crew spotted a couple holding a sign indicating that it was their first date.

That’s when things got awkward.

This is the most awkward first date we’ve ever seen…
1 / 9

  • 1. #Awkward

    The cute, young couple was just minding their business. Wait. Is that a heart on the sign he made?And wait. He made a sign?

  • 2. #Awkward

    Uh oh. Text messages start rolling in. Umm guys, you're on TV.

  • 3. #Awkward

    Eek. She doesn't seem too thrilled.

  • 4. #Awkward

    Oh boy. Now the TV crew has started a text poll to see if there will be a second date.

  • 5. #Awkward

    A reporter tracked down the young couple to ask them how the date is going.

  • 6. #Awkward

    And immediately, Brandon announces to the world that his car broke down and that Brittney had to pick him up for their date.

  • 7. #Awkward

    Now the ,000 question, 'will there be a second date?' The crowd is split.

  • 8. #Awkward

    She says 'Yes'! Although it was more like the 'oh my god, I better say yes because I'm TV, and I can't believe this idiot put me on the spot'

  • 9. #Awkward

    The last we see of the couple, the TV crew offers them four tickets, yes four, to Saturday's game for their second date. The heart graphic was a nice touch.
