Kaylee Hartung 6/24

Another look outside of MLB as the NCAA season wrapped up. After Virginia won the College World Series, Kaylee avoided the majority of the blue powerade shower and looked relieved to have spared her light clothes the soaking after interviewing the winning coach. Virginia kept Vanderbilt from repeating as champions.

Jen Mueller 6/23

Jen likes doing the interviews in the dugout... the downside is there's nowhere to run. She caught a solid splash after Montgomery's complete game. Only saw twitter captures of it though, hard to say just how much she joined in the celebration.

Joel usually has the ability to avoid Salvador's showers, but didn't move this time and paid a wet price. Perez decided it was his turn to take most of the bucket and the suit ended up soaked.

Emily Jones 6/16

Emily Jones found herself in the middle of the walkoff celebration this time after a couple weeks of being able to dodge them. She caught some orange splash but avoid another complete catastrophe although it had to be hard on the white pants. Those colorful heels though look like they were made for powerade showers.

Kelli Tennant 6/10

The Dodgers are probably happy to have Yasiel back, not sure if reporters are quite as excited. After Howie's walk off, Kelli catches the majority of a cooler of powerade despite a valiant effort to get away. Her long skirt slowed her initial steps and collected tons of the powerade as  Puig targeted her and emptied what was left on Howie. She ended up soaked and completed the interview on the look out for more liquid (mlb video 0:45-0:47).

Emily Jones' soaking may stand for a long time as the worst drenching a reporter gets.
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2015/05/emily-jones-531.html
From Rangers Twitter account:

Julia's 2017 bucket left her dress without a dry spot on it. Luckily for the dress and Emily's record, it was only water

White dress, plus blue cooler full of blue liquid = blue dress and heels. Guerin Austin scored a huge soaking in a Red Sox walk off
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2016/05/guerin-austin-514.html

She only had time to throw up her hands and wince

Poor Guerin got her second Hall of Fame dousing in 2016 before the all star break. Hanley brought a cooler from long range and drenched her along with Xander. Fortunately the blue is more friendly to dark clothes, they may have survived.
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2016/06/guerin-austin-623.html



It may have been a hold, but they got Kelly Crull good- second day in a row
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2014/04/2013-year-in-review-3-top-single-cooler.html

Emily avoided nearly all of the buckets all year with threatening glares and finger wagging. When the Rangers won and clinched, she convinced Rougned and Elvis to join in their own Gatorade baths with her and Adrian. The orange surely left a mark on the white jacket and boots.
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2016/09/emily-jones-923.html



Kris Budden's white dress was slightly more fortunate than Emily's above, catching mostly water not gatorade.
http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2014/07/kris-budden-72.html

Alanna's dress got a blue shower in her wettest interview during her Cooler Cup win in 2014. Youtube screencapture link in post:http://coolercupmlb.blogspot.com/2014/09/alanna-rizzo-97.html



Leila Rahimi got more than she bargained for filling in and doing the Springer interview: powerade shower


Poor Jamie Hersch never had a chance during this unexpected dousing on the road, soaked.

Salvador gets Joel while he's held down:


Jamie Erdahl's brightly colored dress got a complete drenching

Kelsey's Fathers day 2017 was memorable as she got held into the dousing... luckily for the white parts of her dress, she dodged the blue cooler and only took the water soaking

Hazel's red dress camouflaged the orange some and probably recovered, but she took an extremely solid splash in 2017. This one she didn't duck out early on the interview after getting soaked

Guerin's early 2017 dousing in red was probably hard on the boots, fortunately the dark coat probably saved the dress. She joins Emily as the only hall of fame inductee back to back years.

From the Hall of Fame Committee: Requirements for Entry 2016 and beyond.
  • Total Score must be at least a 20 (slight increase due to more bonus points)
  • Coverage/Quantity Score must be at least 7 points
  • Photos or Video must show some good during/after action
    • (good means, a couple angles or reporter prominent/visible)

Julia Morales 6/3

Julia's interview with Lance after his first complete game was interrupted twice with 3 buckets dumped on them. Was Julia's "that was only your first" comment to pull him back for more interview questions or to keep him around for more powerade? Lance summed up their feelings toward the end asking if there was any more coolers left.

The Astros came on heavy with the coolers... with all the winning they've been doing, its surprising Julia has stayed as dry as she has until now. The 3 coolers were too much to dodge as she caught plenty despite a valiant effort to escape:



Video screenshot captions:


"I should've known that was coming, but did it have to be blue?"


"It's hard to get an interview back on track when you're freezing"

"Really guys, a second cooler?"

"Ice and water in the heels, yuck, I really liked them"

+0.5 of 1st *2  0.25 of 3rd *2 = 1.5
+ 1 soaked front
+ 1 soaked top
+ 1.5 soaked skirt
+ 1 soaked back
