Chris Martin has been the talk of social media this weekend after an embarrassing jumbotron moment during a Coldplay concert caught the CEO of Astronomer and its head of human resources cozying up.

A different Chris Martin took the mound for the Texas Rangers against the Detroit Tigers Friday night. 

Tigers broadcaster Jason Benetti used the moment to reference the controversy.

"CEOs beware …. Chris Martin is here. Out of the Rangers bullpen," Benetti said as Martin took the mound.

Benetti was far from the only person in the sports world to poke fun at the moment.

Martin has pitched in the majors since the 2014 season with the Colorado Rockies. He’s played for the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox. He won a World Series with the Braves in 2021.

He struck out one batter in his relief appearance, and the Rangers won the game, 2-0.
