A minor league baseball organization has formally apologized to its fans over a performance last night by Corey Feldman’s band, Truth Movement.
Feldman performed at Medlar Field, home of the Class A-level State College Spikes, and the appearance was “so far below expectations,” the organization today tried to make amends with those who were there to witness it.
“While the nature of the appearance was not what we had anticipated for the evening, we would like to apologize to all fans who may have been offended by its content,” the Spikes tweeted this afternoon. “We would also like to apologize to our fans for the appearance being so far below expectations.”
According to the Center Daily Times of Pennsylvania, Feldman’s appearance at the ballgame was supposed to center around meet-and-greets and interactions with fans, similar to a successful “retro night” held last year with Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who played Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But Feldman, known for his roles in ’80s flicks like the Goonies, License To Drive, and the Lost Boys, was apparently more interested in playing live with Truth Movement. In video below, he can be seen dressed as Michael Jackson while his “Angels” sing alongside him; the team described his singers as “not exactly family friendly.”
Tell that to the adult up front wearing a Goonies shirt.
Feldman feels that the reaction from the State College Spikes, an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, is unjust, and today lashed out at the organization, tweeting that “it was like working w The 3 Stooges! Everything was done wrong, and we get the blame?!? Lol!”
Here’s some video:
