• Sports reporters often find themselves witnessing history on the field or on the court.
• Sometimes, they unwittingly become a part of it.
• On Twitter, many reporters shared their favorite "unintentional photobombs," covering everything from Super Bowl moments to ill-timed sneezes caught on camera.

The job of a sports reporter often offers up a front seat to some of the biggest games in the world.

Reporting courtside for a game or shooting photographs from the end zone can bring you closer to the action than even the best seats that money can buy.

It's one of the perks of the job, but it can also come with unintended consequences. When you're that close to the action, sometimes you can become a part of the action, whether you want the camera on you or not.

Some reporters began sharing their favorite "unintentional photobombs" after a tweet from Chris Grosse, who works as the Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing at Penn State.

Responses came in from across the sports world — whether you're one of the top broadcasters covering the biggest live event of the year, or a local beat reporter following up with a coach, there's no telling when the camera might catch you.
