In a pro baseball game, lighting up the stadium with fireworks after the home team hits a homerun is nothing new. But fireworks after the visiting team hits one? That doesn't usually happen. But it did on a Tuesday night as the Kansas City Royals were visiting the Cleveland Indians. When Alex Rios, a player on the visiting team, hit a home run it launched some unintentional fireworks. A video made the rounds of the unidentified Fireworks Guy trying to hide his face in shame as the cameras zoomed in on his location. It was a perfect scenario to heap condemnation and public shame on the guy who, after all, had only one little job—hit the fireworks button when your team hits a homerun.

Surprisingly, the Cleveland Indians organization chose not to heap more shame on their inept employee. In a tweet they posted a clip from the movie Dumb and Dumber and quoted Jim Carey who said, "Pardon me Mr. Perfect! I guess I forgot you never make a mistake!"
