The Philadelphia Phillies had their own version of the Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ amid the ongoing Andy Byron-Kristin Cabot fiasco that broke at a Boston concert on Wednesday. The Jumbotron at Citizens Bank Park on Friday captured a couple of fans holding banners reading: ‘No one is cheating on their wives here’. A couple at the stadium also kissed, to further push the virality of the alleged ‘cheating’ row.

This comes days after Coldplay's recent concert in Boston became the talk of the town. One viral clip from the gig showed frontman Chris Martin unintentionally putting a spotlight on a man and woman, who were seen on the jumbotron, standing draped in each other's arms.
The man and woman were soon identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot, respectively. When the camera focused on them, they ducked and attempted to hide their faces.
Chris Martin quipped, “Oh look at these two... either they're having an affair or they're very shy.”
As the Astronomer execs faced flak on social media, it was revealed that Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, and the couple resides in New York.

Earlier on Friday, SportsCenter anchors, Gary Striewski and Randy Scott, enacted the infamous moment from the Coldplay concert. Scott wrapped his arms around Striewski’s waist and the two swayed for a couple of seconds before Striewski covered his face and turned away.
“Uh, it’s time to ‘Kiss It Goodbye’,” Scott said. "Baseball’s probably not the only thing you could say that about recently.”
