MILWAUKEE, WI β A reporter from Los Angeles visiting American Family Field on Wednesday took a rough landing after a ride on Bernie Brewer's slide and fractured his arm, according to reports.
MLB.com first reported the news, noting that Dodger Talk host David Vassegh managed his first run, but on the second crashed into the wall. He had been excited, the report said, as it was after a decade of visits to the field that he was invited to ride down the Brewers mascot's slide.
"Holy crap," Vassegh shouted multiple times as he rode the slide, video posted online from the event showed. Despite the tumble, Vassegh appeared in good spirits and OK later on.
