Look: If I’m working the cameras at any upcoming New York Yankees games, I would be super nervous.
I wouldn’t want to be the one who totally misses where Aaron Judge’s home run No. 61 — matching Roger Maris and the American League record for most in a season — and gets the collective ire of the internet for a while.
So I totally feel for the camera person who got a lot of grief on Thursday night when Judge smacked a ball to deep center field, and the angle made it look like it was wayyyyyyyyyy gone … but it was caught on the warning track.
People were so mad:
Everyone got mad

What FOX just did there with the camera shot was criminal. Good lord that ball was shot like it was going to lower Manhattan…

Camera operator knew the entire baseball world was watching and decided to troll everyone.

Based on that camera shot Fox thought Judge had knocked a satellite out of the sky.
