Baseball fan goes viral for working on laptop during Cubs’ win over Brewers

A baseball fan sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley Field to watch the Chicago Cubs take on the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday afternoon was spotted working on his laptop during the first game of a doubleheader.

The Marquee Sports Network dubbed him the “fan of the game” as the Brewers started the top of the eighth inning down 6-4.

“How badly do you want it? Did you bring your mouse? You better bring your mouse,” Cubs play-by-play broadcaster Jon Sciambi said as the camera panned to the man. “There’s only one question. Is this guy doing work or my other thought is he’s going over fantasy football?”

Sciambi made valid points.

However, the rest of the baseball world took notice and the moment went viral across social media. The Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays were among those who added their own quips.
