NEW YORK, NY – One popular Mets announcer picked a bad time to fall asleep on the job!
Keith Hernandez is a New York Mets broadcaster and is loved by most Mets fans. It seems as though Hernandez had a busy weekend because he was caught sleeping on the job. During Sunday’s game against the San Francisco Giants, cameras caught Hernandez taking a quick power nap.
Baseball is a long season and broadcasters may get bored doing the same thing for 162 games. However, the Mets haven’t even reached the half point of the season and Hernandez is already trailing off during games. Doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season.
In the announcer’s defense, the game did go on for a long 3 hours and 32 minutes. Regardless, his nap was caught on camera and he will certainly not hear the end of it. Mets fans love Hernandez though and this will be quickly forgiven and will certainly be attributed to Keith being Keith.

He wasn't asleep. It was a joke.
