Top MLB Prospect Had a Hard Time Getting a Hotel Room Because of His Age and Fans Had Jokes

There were lots of “Home Alone” jokes.

MLB’s top prospect Jackson Holliday earned a huge call-up this week when the Orioles promoted him to Triple-A this week at just 19 years old, but that didn’t come without one obstacle.

Since Holliday is still just a teenager, he had quite the issue booking a hotel room in Norfolk, Va., on Monday night, per The Virginian-Pilot’s David Hall. All the prospect was trying to do was get a room to prepare for his call-up in Norfolk, where the Orioles’ Triple-A Tide play.

Holliday eventually booked a room after talking “his way into” it at the unknown hotel. It will be quite the story to tell.

Social media couldn’t help but post funny reactions to this note on Tuesday. Here are some of the best reactions.

“This is Matt Holiday, the FAAATHER. I’d like an extra large room, a tv, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key.
