The Tennessee Volunteers are still celebrating a 2024 College World Series title. Tony Vitello recently turned down the Texas A&M job. They seemingly can do no wrong at the moment. 

That being said, a former star player made a blunder on social media that got plenty of laughs around the sports world. 

Former Tennessee Vols pitcher Ben Joyce went viral on Monday

Joyce posted a picture of a bridge on his Instagram story, and he thought it was the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Apparently, he was mistaken. 

Joyce soon realized his mistake in the afternoon and followed up the post with a tweet/post on X/Twitter. The bridge from his story was, in fact, not the Golden Gate. Plenty of folks let him know. 

Upon further review this is not the Golden Gate Bridge. https://t.co/vuHIHeP48n

The bridge pictured was actually the Bay Bridge. It was a hilarious error from the flame throwing pitcher. 

Joyce is currently throwing for the Los Angeles Angels. He's appeared in ten games for the Angels in 2024. Joyce owns a 3.97 ERA with ten strikeouts in 11.1 innings pitched.

Joyce is projected to be a key arm for the future in Los Angeles. His ferocious fastball and improving off speed stuff could help him become a great reliever in the big leagues. Joyce rose through the minor leagues rather quickly compared to his counterparts after being drafted in round three of the 2022 MLB Draft.

Vols fans are certainly rooting for him. 

The young pitcher was a fan favorite in Knoxville. He consistently hit triple digits, sometimes even hitting 103 and 104 MPH with his fastball. He's one of the hardest throwers in college baseball history. 

Tony Vitello already proved his loyalty to the Tennessee Vols in a huge way just days after winning it all

The Vols’ head coach already has said no thanks to one major program
