It happened in the bottom of the first just as the third pitch of his at-bat was being delivered. Gomez called time and couldn't help but laugh as fans cheered for the impromptu fireworks display, which lasted about 10 seconds.
Obviously this was an embarrassing mistake and we're sure the Brewers will take the necessary steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. We'd just like to hear the story behind it. Who pressed the button, and why?
