Jazz Chisholm was seen eating a lollipop while playing the field
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm incurred the ire of fans on Monday night as he was spotted eating a lollipop while playing defense in the field. The Yankees also lost the game to the Detroit Tigers by a score of 5-3.
During Monday night’s loss to the Detroit Tigers, Jazz Chisholm, who was starting at second base, was seen eating what appeared to be a Blow-Pop while playing defense in the fifth inning with the Yankees down 4-1. At the plate, Chisholm also went 1-4 with two strikeouts.

Beyond the apparent laissez-faire message it sends, enjoying a lollipop while playing baseball is also a choking hazard.
Jazz Chisholm is an attention-seeking idiot. His stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
Not only is this terribly dangerous for himself, he is setting an atrocious example for young kids watching. pic.twitter.com/itzm8mSAVl

And that ladies and gentlemen is everything that’s wrong with every Aaron Boone managed team since 2018. It’s a terrible look and it shows that he’s not locked in. Because his manager doesn’t demand it of him.
I don’t even blame Jazz. What’s wrong with it if nobody tells him he… https://t.co/Ck25oxqVya

“This would lowkey be aura if he didn’t f—— suck at baseball 😭😭😭,” one tweet with over 315,000 views said in response.
“Would rather see my son with a Zyn at second base,” a second joked.
“This is pretty annoying, but not as annoying as the fact that he has a .579 OPS with RISP,” a third added.
This. This. Is a no no. WTF is wrong with the game now. https://t.co/g2Rdz4119b
