From Coldplay to the Cardinals, a comedy play.

On July 17 during Coldplay's concert at Boston's Gillete Stadium, a viral moment occurred when the kiss cam focused on Andy Byron, CEO of tech startup Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, head of HR at the same company, in an awkward embrace. Seeing each other on screen, she covered her face and he quickly ducked. Vocalist Chris Martin joked, saying:

"Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy."

Cardinals prank

The St. Louis Cardinals, known for their sense of humor, posted on X/Twitter, a parody post referencing this event. Showing during the game in the dugout Albert Pujos hugging Adam Wainwright with emphasis that this happens when a Coldplay song starts.

With this move, the Cardinals turn an entertainment news story into a piece of sports humor, creating a cultural link between two seemingly distant worlds: a music scandal and a baseball team.
