The Cleveland Indians revealed on Wednesday that the team’s social media crew ran an elaborate gag involving photos of Nicolas Cage throughout the 2019 MLB season and absolutely no one noticed.
According to the Indians’ Twitter account, Cage was hidden in 39 different game lineup cards that were tweeted out over the course of 2019. Cage could be anywhere – in the background posing as a fan, or expertly hidden in a player’s uniform. The Indians went to great lengths to make it so that you’d probably never notice Cage unless you were actively scanning the lineup card, and it appears that no one ever did.
The revelation sent fans searching through the Twitter archive to try and spot Cage for themselves. Twitter’s embedding situation is… not the best, but you can click to expand these photos and see if you can find Nic Cage. The first one is a doozy.
Just want to let you know that we hid Nicolas Cage in (39) of our lineup graphics last year.
We snuck it by you! You didn't even notice!
It's our greatest treasure.
Go on a scavenger hunt if you please. We will send master hunters a letter of congratulations. pic.twitter.com/4qq3BnSxBK
