KSI and Logan Paul, two YouTubers, and content creators, were invited to throw the first pitch at Dodger Stadium on Friday before the Arizona and Dodger game. But the two received a lot of ridicule from the audience, which they might never forget.
Before entering the world of professional wrestling, Logan Paul established himself as a YouTube influencer and a professional boxer. Around 2015, Logan and his brother Jake Paul started uploading comedy videos and sketches to YouTube.
KSI began his career on YouTube in 2009 as a gamer and made soccer-related gaming videos. Over time, he began to experiment with vlog-style uploads.
What did the audience do with KSI and Logan Paul?
In January 2022, YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI launched the drinks company Prime Hydration. As they had earlier in the day announced that their beverage, Prime, would become the team’s official drink sponsor, Logan and KSI were chosen to throw out the first pitch for that game. Despite the audience’s vociferous jeers as soon as they entered the field, both players did not leave the field and attempted to throw the opening pitch.

Many baseball fans felt the two YouTubers didn’t deserve to be there and were upset that they were given such a prominent role during the Major League Baseball season. Paul and KSI received boos from the online community once more after the video of the booing went viral. The most utterly ridiculous aspect was when some fans criticized these two for loss.
Blame ksi and Logan if we lose

They went to the stadium expecting to be treated with great respect but had to leave after receiving humiliation. The only thing they got from the day was a lot of advertising for their product, which might have helped them forget all the unpleasant memories.
However, when choosing a sponsor, the decision-makers should be more cognizant of the fact that these two individuals have a reputation for lacking baseball expertise and acting as though their presence was purely promotional. Naturally, fans won’t accept such nice promotional partners.
