Ken Rosenthal, a veteran Major League Baseball reporter, has been called out for acting “classless” during the postgame broadcast of the Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night, September 13, 2025, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Brewers rallied from being down by five runs and won 9-8 in the bottom of the 10th inning. After the walk-off win, Rosenthal interviewed Brewers shortstop Andruw Monasterio, who was soaked in a Gatorade bath. A clip of Rosenthal nearly tripping over a cameraman, then giving him a dirty look instead of helping, has gone viral.
Ken Rosenthal criticized for behavior after cameraman trip
Coming over to interview Andruw Monasterio, Ken Rosenthal nearly tripped over a cameraman filming the scene. Rosenthal stopped, stared at the cameraman in what many considered a disgusted way, and then departed without providing assistance instead of helping him get back on his feet. On social media, people called this impolite and unprofessional. One fan posted: “Dude, go over, reach down, give him a hand … Who the hell knocks someone over … shows no remorse … then shakes their head at him?!”

Andruw Monasterio interview & public reaction
After the Brewers’ thrilling win, Rosenthal asked Andruw Monasterio about the game during the postgame media moment. Monasterio was visibly happy. The interview included the typical celebrations, including the Gatorade bath, which meant Rosenthal had to move quickly to avoid getting hit. He did avoid the Gatorade, but the collision with the cameraman happened just before that. Fans have flooded social media with criticism. Many say they expect more kindness, especially after someone falls or is knocked down accidentally. Some feel that because Rosenthal has been in MLB reporting for more than 30 years, he should know better. Others say he seemed annoyed, maybe because the cameraman stood too close, but still, being annoyed does not excuse not helping someone.
