In a move that was meant to celebrate cultural diversity, the Dodgers’ decision to have the national anthem sung in Spanish has inadvertently sent ripples of linguistic confusion across the nation. Fans at the stadium reported symptoms of sudden language disorientation, with many unsure whether they were in a ballpark or a language lab.

“We never expected a national anthem to become a Babel fish,” said Dr. Lingua Franca, a renowned linguist who arrived at the scene to study the phenomenon. “It’s as if the Spanish lyrics acted like a virus, spreading rapidly and eroding comprehension of English.”

What began as a “Spanish Fly Ball” quickly turned into “Anthem-gate: The Spanish Inquisition Nobody Expected,” leaving fans bewildered and demanding a rematch with English lyrics. “I came for baseball, not Rosetta Stone,” grumbled fan Joe Anglophonia through Google Translate, as he struggled to interpret the game commentary.

Despite the chaos, some fans embraced the linguistic homerun, hoping it could be a precursor to a multi-lingual, harmonious future. Until then, security personnel remain on high alert for any further outbreaks of contagious polyglotism.
