Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston loses temper with umpire, get's ejected from all-star game

in sports •  2 years ago 

I thought for sure that this was a fake post when I first saw it but after seeing the video of the All-Star Celebrity softball game, it is definitely true. I don't know if it was a set up for the sake of the fans but it appears real in the video. Of course a lot of these guys are considered the best actors in the world, so it all could have been arranged in order to make headlines. If that is the case, congratulations it worked!

Cranston was pitching and batting for his team in the game and during practice was hit by a pitch on the shoulder. After he was in pain, as you would expect if you just got hit by a softball, he said he might not be playing in the main game. He did play, and boy did he put on a show.

Cranston maintained his composure despite the injury but it wasn't until he was struck out that the Heisenberg in him came out. At first he seemed to be joking with the umpire and the crowd laughed as he kicked dirt on the smiling umpires feet. At this point it still seemed arranged but then Oscar winner JK Simmons came in to push back on Cranston whose face didn't look so happy anymore at this point.

It all could have ended there but then Bryan decided to launch a pail of bubble gum at the umpire from the dugout and that was when he was ejected.

You make the call, was this staged or was Cranston really mad. There is no doubt that he wasn't trying to hurt the umpire but still. Was it staged?

All in all I would say that the celebrity All-Star game was more exciting than the real All-Star game and if this was a setup right from the start, it's part of the reason why it was more fun to watch.
