If you thought Netflix was content just dominating your TV screen, think again. The streaming giant made its MLB broadcast debut on Opening Night of the 2026 season - and kicked things off with a promotional stunt that sent the internet into an absolute spiral.

It was delivered by Thing - the iconic disembodied hand from Netflix's hit series Wednesday.
