The Blue Jays better hope that this full moon isn’t a bad omen for the season to come.
A male fan sitting in the front row during Friday’s spring training game in Dunedin has gone viral for dropping his pants live on TV – much to his female companion’s chagrin.

Blue Jays fan goes viral after mooning TV camera during spring training game Back to video
The man, who was wearing a No. 4 George Springer Blue Jays shirt, is seen sitting directly home plate as Toronto lefty Brendon Little pitches to a Philadelphia Phillies batter.
While the fan initially is seen talking on his phone while watching the at-bat, the viral clip skips forward to a bit later as the man stands up and begins fidgeting with his belt.
As the woman tries to stop the man – while also seemingly laughing at the situation — he is able to slide down the back of his shorts, revealing his rather white backside live on TV and accomplishing his mission.
For added effect, he even lifted the bottom of his shirt to expose a bit more of his derriere.
The video, which was posted on X by Jomboy Media, was captioned: “You’ll never guess what this guy is on the phone talking to his friend about.”
Baseball fans on social media did have several questions and comments for the full-mooner.

“I mean if you’re gonna do it, fine, but why would you moon your own pitcher?” one user on Reddit asked, to which another replied: “The sooner we get 3 outs the sooner we can escape this guy’s ass.”
“When they talk about a ‘moonshot,’ I don’t think that’s what they mean,” another wrote.
“How can you not be romantic about baseball?” a third user rhetorically asked.
TMZ reached out to Major League Baseball and local police to see if the fan faced any repercussions, but did not hear back.
The Blue Jays ended up winning the game, but for the sake of the fans watching games from home, we can only hope this sort of fan display doesn’t become a trend.
The Jays open the regular season on Thursday at home against the Baltimore Orioles.
