VIDEO: Someone Mashed up the MLB Sign-Stealing Scandal With 'Mean Girls' and it's Perfect
By Brendan Balsamo
Sometimes, the best way to cope is through humor. In Major League Baseball's current abysmal state, featuring cheating scandals, firings, and trash talking galore, a humorous look at the proceedings provided by Twitter user jquadddddd is exactly what any miserable baseball fan needs right now.
In an absolutely hysterical edit, the video takes a scene from the move "Mean Girls," in which there is a massive fight going on in the hallways amid the release of the dreaded Burn Book, and names of various baseball figures are placed on characters that best fit their personas.
Some of the best moments include Jessica Mendoza cursing out Mike Fiers, making fun of her comments about his whistleblowing yesterday, Noah Syndergaard crying about his hair, Mike Trout being an innocent teacher, AJ Hinch, Alex Cora, and Carlos Beltran being reprimanded by Rob Manfred, and Lenny Dykstra being told to get away from two underage girls. Dykstra even saw the video and had an odd response.
Now sitting at 1.6 million views on Twitter, the video has garnered reactions from fans, media personalities, and a few former players as well. Some of the responses are just pure gold as well.
In such a tumultuous time as this in Major League Baseball, a well-made funny video poking fun at the entire situation is just what the doctor ordered.
