A drive into deep left field by Castellanos

"A drive into deep left field by Castellanos" is a phrase spoken by Thom Brennaman, a play-by-play announcer for the Cincinnati Reds, during a Major League Baseball game against the Kansas City Royals on August 19, 2020. Brennaman had been replaced in the middle of the broadcast for a hot mic statement in which he spoke the phrase "one of the fag capitals of the world". He gave an on-air apology later on, during which Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos hit a home run; Brennaman interrupted his apology to call the home run, describing the hit as "a drive into deep left field by Castellanos" before continuing. The surreal nature of the apology, as well as later incidents of Castellanos recording hits during other on-air broadcast discussions of negative events, gave it notoriety in baseball internet culture and has led to its use as a copypasta.
