I like how they kept the camera on him and forget the whole game.

[BabyBearRudy]

Imagine just trying to enjoy a baseball game and you’re getting clowned by the commentators

[raphaelturtle]

Baseball is such an exciting sport that everyone is more interested in the crowd than the actual game

[federicopalacios]

There once was a coke bottle that defeated our entire class. Around 20 guys couldn't open it, the cap was completely fused with the bottle to the point the neck started bending and twisting with all he force we applied to it, yet the cap just refused to turn.

[NVO]

When some guy opening a water bottle is more entertaining that the game. DreamDreams

[idklol]

the announcers were so thrilled to have something exciting to be talking about

[robertr]

Stop panning the camera away from the real entertainment. We wanna see if that bottle ever got opened!

[shanshansan]

Out of all of MLB's 290 thousand videos, this is one of the top 3 most viewed/popular. Really shows the interest of baseball.

[unfunnymemer]

The boss when you unlock him as a playable character.

[TampaTec]

😂 the camera man and announcer is more entertained with the fan opening a water bottle than the game.

[MB-egku]

Plot twist: he's trying to close it as hard as he can

[general-yaTso]

It’s been almost 10 years and he is still standing in the stadium day and night trying to open the bottle.

[ZachMan]

When watching a random dude trying to open a bottle is more entertaining than the game itself.

[LoganPosthumous]

This is the second-most viewed video on the MLB channel. People care more about this than actual baseball and I love that.

[valence]

I relate to this man on a spiritual level.

[AngelAllenson]

*camera cuts back to actual sport being played*
Everybody: BUT DID HE OPEN IT???

[MoneyVideos]

Every time he sees a water bottle he'll get flashbacks of this and remember tens of millions watched his struggle and laughed. Poor guy 😥

[nightfury]

Plot twist : he was actually closing it very tight

[Koopkiris]

I love how this video really proves that a man struggling to open a bottle of water is more interesting than the entire sport of Baseball

*DISCLAIMER*: No water bottles were opened in the making of this video.
