During a recent spring training interview with Bally Sports, Miami Marlins utility man Nick Gordon shared an unconventional viewpoint, suggesting that he doesn’t believe in the reality of the moon.
Gordon, who recently joined the Marlins after playing for the Minnesota Twins, expressed his disbelief to Bally Sports’ Jeremy Taché during their segment “Miami Mic’d Up.” He remarked, “The moon ain’t real,” and opted not to elaborate further, expressing a desire to avoid any potentially skeptical reactions from others.
Gordon attempted to clarify his stance, asserting that his perspective is not as unconventional as it may seem. He pointed to the gravitational pull between the earth and the moon, suggesting that the moon’s proximity to the earth is questionable. He emphasized that sometimes, when observing the night sky, the moon is not visible, which he finds perplexing given its supposed proximity.
His conclusion was that one should either see the sun or the moon when looking up at night, which further adds to his skepticism about the moon’s existence.
Gordon further suggested that once aware of his viewpoint, others might start noticing similar patterns in the night sky. He predicted that one day, individuals might find themselves puzzled by what they observe when looking up at night.
In the previous season, Gordon faced challenges as he spent a considerable portion of it on the injured list due to a fractured right tibia caused by fouling off a pitch with his right shin. Despite this setback, he managed to participate in 34 games in 2023, achieving a batting average of .176 along with two home runs and seven RBI.
It’s worth noting that Gordon comes from a baseball family background; his father, Tom Gordon, had a distinguished career spanning 21 seasons in Major League Baseball. Tom Gordon concluded his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009.
