'Justin Bieber just threw his 84th pitch', sportscaster Bob Costas misidentifies MLB star, Shane Bieber

Baseball analyst Bob Costas made an amusing error of misidentifying Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber as Justin Bieber. The commentator immediately acknowledged his error and stated that he would never allow such a thing to happen again.

Costas said, 'I'm sure it wasn't the first time it had occurred to Bieber,' before clarifying that he was speaking of Shane.

The goof-up was captured by Sportsnet, who shared the video clip on Twitter. The video showed Shane pitching the ball to New Yankees hitter Giancarlo Stanton. The commentators could be heard laughing after the incident.


However, it was, indeed, not the first time that Shane was referred to as Justin Bieber. In 2019, Shane Bieber revealed his official baseball card with Justin Bieber’s name. Following the breakup, the pop singer Justin Bieber and Shane Bieber formed a bromance on the internet, and Justin wore a 'Not Shane Bieber' t-shirt.




The Cleveland Guardians won the game against the Yankees, defeating them 6-5 in Game 3 of the American League Division Series (ALDS). The defeat has pushed the Yankees to the verge of elimination. The Guardians will now be facing the Houston Astros, who defeated the Seattle Marines on Saturday night.
