Screengrab of the video showing the mascots recreating Byron and Cabot viral Coldplay video.
Major League Baseball (MLB) team Philadelphia Phillies have trolled Astronomer CEO Andy and the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, for their actions during the Coldplay concert earlier this week. The mascots of the MLB team recreated the viral “kiss cam” moment as part of Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels, which has since gone viral on social media platforms.
During the middle of the match, a segment dubbed the “Coldplay Kiss Cam” rolled on Citizens Bank Park’s outfield video board as the band’s popular song “Clocks” played. After initially panning over couples, the camera settled on the Phillie Phanatic and a fellow mascot, dressed in a blonde wig.
The mascots recreated the now-infamous reactions of Byron and Cabot, with one of the mascots hiding below while the other turned back, much to the amusement of the audience members.
“Imagine having the entire world making fun of you because you’re a cheating scumbag. This is why I love the internet,” wrote one user, reacting to the video, while another added: “On the one hand, I’m enjoying this as much as anyone. On the other hand, lives have been ruined, and it’s sad.”
A third commented: “I don’t watch baseball, but that was the best ever.”

Byron was attending Coldplay’s Boston concert when the camera panned to him as he playfully canoodled with the company’s chief HR officer, Kriston Cabot. As soon as the visual was shown on the jumbotron at the Gillette Stadium, both panicked. Byron immediately turned around and sank, while Cabot tried to hide her face.
The frantic manner in which the couple hid made Coldplay’s Chris Martin joke that they were either having an affair or they were very shy.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin said.
“Holy sh-t. I hope we didn’t do something bad,” he added, according to additional footage taken right after.
