FOX had an interesting choice of music during Game 7 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday night.
Benches cleared during an incident in the bottom of the fourth inning of the game after Justin Wrobleski hit Andres Gimenez with a pitch. Gimenez was upset and made some comments to Wrobleski, who responded with some profanity. Players emptied out of the bullpens and ran onto the field as part of the matter.
George Springer followed with a single to put runners on first and second, but the Blue Jays were unable to do any more damage.
After the fourth inning ended with the Blue Jays still leading 3-1, FOX played the Taylor Swift hit song “Bad Blood” as they went to a commercial break.
Fans noticed the music selection and commented on it.
