Athletics broadcaster Chris Caray described a long foul ball off the bat of Lawrence Butler in the ninth inning of Saturday’s game against the Houston Astros. The only problem was, the ball was fair and landed in the right-field seats for a three-run homer.

Caray, the great-grandson of legendary Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray, apologized following the 5-1 victory.
“Totally lost it in the lights,” Caray wrote postgame on X. “No excuses. Unfair to Butler and our fans that I messed it up as badly as I did. This is completely and totally on me. Wish I could have it back but that’s baseball. I apologize and will be better tomorrow.”
Butler now has 15 home runs on the season. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .238/.310/.420 with 17 steals and 44 RBIs.
