Cubs' Justin Turner goes viral for cheeky fake testicle joke caught on camera during Suzuki's home run celebration
Image Source: Getty On Thursday night, Chicago Cubs player Justin Turner made everyone laugh during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won 3-2, but Turner's silly joke in the dugout tunnel got all the attention. The 40-year-old infielder cheered for his teammate in a way that surprised fans. The moment was caught on camera and is now a big topic online. Turner's prank catches Marquee Sports Network off guard In the sixth inning, Seiya Suzuki hit a home run, putting the Cubs ahead 3-0 against the Pirates. Justin Turner, who wasn't playing, stood in the dugout tunnel jumping happily to support his teammate. But what made people laugh was a pair of fake testicles hanging from his belt as a funny prank to cheer up the team. The Marquee Sports Network, which shows Cubs games, played the clip in the ninth inning, calling Turner the 'Fan of the Game' without seeing the joke. Announcer Jon Sciambi shouted happily, but then the broadcast went quiet for 30 seconds, probably because they noticed the prank. Fans on X went wild, sharing posts about the funny mistake, making Turner's joke a huge hit online. This shows how Turner loves to keep the team smiling. His silly act, not meant for TV, is now a big baseball story. Also Read: Ben Brown's rotation future hangs in balance as Cubs ace prepares for comeback Veteran leadership shines beyond the field Justin Turner, in his 17th year in baseball, joined the Cubs in 2025 to help lead the team toward the playoffs. Though he's hitting only .169 this season, his work off the field is super important. Turner is great at bringing players together, hosting team dinners, and helping young stars like Matt Shaw. His prank during the Pirates game shows how he keeps the team happy and relaxed. Even after the TV mix-up, players like pitcher Ben Brown say Turner is an excellent teammate. The Cubs, with a 25-18 record, are doing well, and Turner's fun attitude helps a lot. This funny moment, though a bit embarrassing for the TV crew, proves why Turner is so loved. Fans are excited to see what other fun things he'll do at Wrigley Field.
