Spotted during the telecast of tonight's St. Louis Cardinals game, the poor guy who gets the seat behind the seven-foot-one-inch tall
Shaquille O'Neal.
O'Neal is in St. Louis for the next few days, where he will film a
home run derby against
Albert Pujols, for a new reality TV show where
the
Diesel (is that name still relevant, what with all his
entertaining
tweets?) takes on pro athletes at their own game.
According to
one blogger, the NBA star will take on Pujols Thursday at
T.R. Hughes Stadium in O'Fallon, Missouri. The show will premiere at 8 p.m. on August 18 and be called
Shaq VS.
The fellow behind O'Neal is
Jerry Clinton, known for leading Grey Eagle Distributors, Inc., which distributed Anheuser-Busch products.
Check back here tomorrow for coverage from O'Neal's press conference with Pujols.
