Blake Lively found herself unexpectedly thrust into the world of baseball when New York Mets announcer Gary Cohen mistakenly called pitcher Ben Lively by her name during a recent game against the Cleveland Guardians. The hilarious mix-up prompted a witty response from the actress, who jokingly embraced her newfound identity as a professional baseball player.

As cameras cut to Ben Lively taking the mound, Cohen’s commentary took an unexpected turn as he referred to the pitcher as “Blake Lively,” referencing the Gossip Girl actress instead. The amusing slip of the tongue caught the attention of fans and was quickly shared on social media, where it garnered plenty of laughs.

Blake Lively herself joined in on the fun, sharing a screenshot of the moment on her Instagram Story and quipping, “Well. Cats outta the bag. I’m a highly professional baseball player on the side.” The A-lister, who has no relation to the athlete, showcased her trademark humor in response to the unexpected shout-out.

Ben Lively also joined in on the joke, sharing Blake’s reaction on his Instagram Story along with the caption, “The amount of times this has happened.” The playful exchange between the two garnered even more attention from amused fans, who enjoyed the lighthearted banter between the actress and the pitcher.

While Blake Lively may not be known for her avid interest in baseball, her humorous response to the announcer’s blunder only added to her charm. The actress, who recently attended Super Bowl LVIII alongside friend Taylor Swift, continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen with her wit and personality.

As Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds balance their busy careers with parenthood, moments like these serve as a delightful reminder of the couple’s down-to-earth nature and playful sense of humor. Whether she’s attending star-studded events or sharing funny anecdotes on social media, Blake Lively never fails to entertain and endear herself to fans around the world.
