Reporter's Attempt At Going Down Milwaukee Ballpark Slide Ends In Multiple Broken Bones

Reporter's Attempt At Going Down Milwaukee Ballpark Slide Ends In Multiple Broken Bones
Spectrum Sportsnet

Dodgers Broadcaster David Vassegh was with the Dodgers for a game in Milwaulkee on August 17.

While there he was invited to try out the Brewer's mascot's famous home-run slide—a.k.a. Bernie’s Chalet.


It...didn't go as intended.

Vassegh picked up speed on the slide, eventually crashing into a wall at the bottom, breaking his arm and some ribs.

Fellow Dodgers' broadcasters Joe Davis and Nomar Garciaparra found it difficult to keep a straight face when playing the clip.

Immediate reactions were a little abashed at finding humor in Vassegh's pain.

Vassegh should make a full recovery.

So baseball Twitter took this golden opportunity to indulge in one of America's other favorite pastimes—making jokes and memes.

They proposed a whole new show just about Vassegh trying things he's ill-equipped to do.

Does baseball Twitter have a Vassegh death wish‽‽

Baseball being baseball, jokes about other teams were quick to pop up.

Or just jokes about baseball in general.


Vassegh got the last word, though.

Wishing him a very speedy recovery, but maybe next time go with the stunt double.

We can't all be Jackie Chan.
