ABC and ESPN chose to show live look-ins at Aaron Judge’s history-chasing at bats on Saturday afternoon, interrupting its college football coverage on multiple networks.
The networks chose to break into the game multiple times on Saturday afternoon to show Judge’s at bats. Judge is chasing his 61st home run of the season, which would tie Roger Maris for the most in Yankee history.
The live look-ins disrupted coverage of Clemson-Wake Forest on ABC and Missouri-Auburn on ESPN.
Judge’s third at-bat, which ended in a walk, disrupted a pivotal 2-point conversion attempt from Clemson. The Tigers converted the try. His second at-bat disrupted a Wake Forest touchdown pass.
While Judge’s chase is notable, the choice to break into the broadcast — including the audio feed — to show baseball was not popular amongst college football fans.
