MLB Accidental Apologies

[@chrisaultman1]

I fucking LOVE courtesy and sportsmanship. It takes a real man to admit he's wrong.

i would never apologize to Angel Hernandez. he probably was wrong

Rizzo's the type of guy who would

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Hernandez was wrong. Rizzo's a class act, though. To be fair, he didn't apologize to Angel, Angel apologized to Rizzo for screwing up the call.

[@nfindc]

3:50 That's a gentleman. He took the time before the catch to see that lady and made sure she was ok before returning to the field.

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

You know, that struck me the same way as well. And I thought about it and realized a lot of players just disregard fans and act like they're invisible after they slam into them in the stands. I don't really get it. Like is someone going to punish you for doing a quick once-over and making sure everyone is okay? MLB would definitely look like villains if they punished a player for that. Are the players really butthurt that the fan is in their seat where they're supposed to be? I'm not referring to live plays that are still in motion of course, but when the ball is dead I think you can take a second to be like "you guys good?".

"Accidental Apologies" would be a series of apologies that themselves happened by accident -- the person making the apology didn't intend to apologize. What we have here are "Accident Apologies," which are apologies for accidents for which an individual was responsible. I honestly clicked here because I wanted to see cases where people apologized without meaning to and maybe tried to rescind their apologies. Words matter.
