Motorcycle Accident Ad Aired During Fernando Tatis Jr. At Bat Not Intentional

No, the motorcycle accident advertisement that aired during Fernando Tatis Jr.‘s at-bat earlier this week was not done intentionally … TMZ Sports has learned.

Our sources tell us that even though it may have looked like purposeful shade thrown at the Padres star during the game … it was nothing more than a mere coincidence.

If you missed it, the incident happened during the broadcast of Minnesota’s tilt against San Diego on Wednesday … when Tatis Jr. stepped into the batter’s box in the top of the third inning.

As he dug in … an ad flashed across the bottom of the screen, and it read, “Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?” It then provided a number for LawTigers.com, a law firm specializing in motorcycle accident cases.

At the moment, it seemed like some kind of diss on Tatis Jr. … who had reportedly been injured in a motorcycle accident in his native Dominican Republic in 2021.

But, despite the optics, our broadcast sources are adamant it was all “absolutely unintentional.”
