During a stoppage in play due to an injury, MLB Network's Matt Vasgersian developed a serious case of foot-in-mouth syndrome. Not sure if he was just trying to be funny or if he was serious (or both), but for a white guy to say some random black dude looks like a famous black athlete (say Donovan McNabb) probably isn't a good idea.

Vasgersian responded via Kissing Suzy Kolber and at least owned up to his actions while defending himself against any racial allegations:

“I am an idiot .. Save the racial stuff which is just flat out wrong, almost all of what has been posted on my regrettably horrific timing is spot on .. It was a bad decision made on live tv and i can absolutely understand how that make an announcer sound insensitive. Bad on the spot judgment. Nobody feels worse about it than I do guys.”

Let's hope this is the end of it, as it's perfectly understandable for someone who speaks constantly on live television to make the occasional inappropriate slip-of-the-tongue. I'm sure this incident will spur at least one reporter to call up Donovan McNabb and ask him what Terrell Owens thinks about Vasgersian's comments.
