Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Aroldis Chapman shared a video of himself groping and kissing an older woman.
The 36-year-old World Series reliever posted a 30-second video to his Instagram Story on Tuesday night, showing him lying on the chest of an older, gray-haired woman on a couch.
Snuggling into her, he squeezed each of her breasts before she batted his hands away, but before he stopped groping him, he kissed her right breast.
The woman, who appears to be fully clothed with her legs covered in a blanket, has her arm around Chapman’s shoulders and is continuously patting his back.
Chapman can be heard muttering: ‘the boob, the boob’, to which she replies: ‘no s**t the boob’, while the man filming can be heard laughing.
