Vin Scully.

It's not unusual for Baseball announcers on TV to go off the script. 

Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray was famous for it. He'd be going on about some player, some play in the game, or some statistic, and the next second he would be babbling happily away about something off in left field. Last night, Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully must have been really bored, because he went into a discussion of the failure of Socialism, citing the alleged failure of Venezuela's government under the late Hugo Chavez. Personally, I thought it was just a rather humorous non sequitur. Sort of like reading the weather on TV only to suddenly mention how tight your shoes are. Well, apparently other people weren't so happy about Scully's discourse. By the way, the Dodgers won it 10-6 over the Brewers.
