Scientists will tell you the next United States-bound solar eclipse won’t come until 2024. Those people clearly haven’t been to Dodger Stadium lately.
If they paid a visit to Chavez Ravine, they’d know that solar eclipses occur quite often — as in every time someone passes in front of Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner.
In the scientists’ defense, though, most of us were ignorant to this phenomenon until Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig revealed it to be true Monday, tweeting a video of he and Turner’s own “solar eclipse” on the day of the historic natural event.
In all seriousness, you have to give credit to Turner, in all his red-bearded glory, for being able to laugh at himself. As for the actual eclipse, Puig, like so many, took time to look to the skies.
Say what you want about the ever-controversial Cuban slugger, but at least he wore protective shades — which can’t be said for New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
