The Rays were losing 6-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Tampa Bay's Bally Sports Sun live television broadcast showed a Rays fan standing in the stands wearing clown face makeup.

The fan was shown talking to a friend as he also sported a clown wig with a Rays hat over it.

Tampa Bay TV analyst Doug Waechter was at a loss of words when the baseball fan popped up on the screen.

The TV analyst then guessed why the fan wore the clown attire.

"Probably came in last place and had to go as a clown to the ballgame," Waechter said.

The MLB fan's white shirt could read in rainbow colors, "I suck at fantasy."

Fans were in hysterics over the Rays fan's clown outfit on social media.

"That's brutal," one commented.

"Don't lose at fantasy football," another wrote.

"He's talking to a woman, so it doesn't seem like he's doing too badly lol," a third added.

The Rays fan seemed to take a page out of another person's book as a Chicago Cubs fan donned a clown outfit to an MLB game last month.
