Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster John Kruk says he believes he had been drinking before a notably poor at-bat against pitcher Randy Johnson during the 1993 MLB All-Star Game. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Kruk describes the moment as “comically horrendous,” pointing to alcohol as a possible factor for his performance. The accounts characterize his remarks as speculative and retrospective rather than a formal explanation of the specific circumstances of the inning, but they agree on the core claim: Kruk suggests alcohol may have affected his ability at the plate. The reports also tie the comments to Kruk’s role as a current Phillies play-by-play man, noting that he addresses the incident publicly years later. Overall, the story centers on Kruk’s admission-like statement that he may have been under the influence at the time, as recounted in connection with his at-bat against Johnson in the 1993 midsummer classic.
