Dodgerfilms
Bobby Crosby, known by his YouTube channel name, Dodgerfilms, is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers who regularly attends the Major League Baseball team's home games at Dodger Stadium. He has been a season ticket holder for 19 years as of the 2015 season.[1] Crosby became known for videotaping himself while catching two home run balls at Dodger Stadium in a span of less than a month, garnering attention from the broadcasters of both Dodgers' and Arizona Diamondbacks' games, as well as Sports Illustrated and ESPN.
Crosby is one of the creators of Blatant Comics. The Van Nuys, California, resident[2] is "not to be confused with former Oakland A's shortstop Bobby Crosby."[3]
Videos and media response[edit]
Videos created by Crosby at Dodger Stadium and posted to his YouTube channel date back to 2009. They include shots of pre-game and in-game action, and of players interacting with fans.[4]
Crosby has recorded himself catching home run balls and claims to have videotaped three caught during games.[lower-alpha 1] His video from May 2, 2015, was shown during the Arizona Diamondbacks' telecast of the game.[6] Three weeks later, on May 24, he was again seen using his camcorder while catching a home run, this time hit by the Dodgers' Alex Guerrero.[7] Play-by-play announcer Vin Scully introduced Crosby to SportsNet LA viewers as the man responsible for "the highlight play for the Dodger fans" during an 11-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. Scully added, "I wonder what his play-by-play was like."[8] Afterward, Crosby told MLB.com that catching two in the same month was "absurd."[1]
Notes[edit]
- ↑ In addition to the Aaron Hill and Alex Guerrero home runs in May 2015, Crosby also recorded one hit by Andrew McCutchen.[5]
