Tom referred in one of his comments to an incident a while back that involved a bat... I figure I'd shed some light on that.
First, my editorial comment: This was the most blown out of proportion thing in the history of mankind. OK, now watch the video (click this link).
Done? OK... I couldn't help but burst out laughing, even after watching it again now. First, can you believe this was considered "breaking news?" And I love all the headlines... Racing sausage attacked! And I can't believe the player who did this was led off in handcuffs and charged with battery (hee hee). Some more quotes:
"I just looked over and saw our wieners in a wad." - Ned Yost, Brewers manager.
"Someone had to win." - The guy dressed up as the bratwurst, when asked why he didn't go back and help
What really happened was a player was trying to kid around, but the costumes are so tall that they're top heavy. So she fell down. I think the proper response was a apology by Randall Simon, and for him to buy them dinner or something. I appreciate this kind of kidding around, it's unfortunate that people overreacted so much. Follow up video.

you've blogged so much! i'm shocked! i'm impressed! i'm urging you to keep it up!
Dale,
That video is hilarious! They are so serious in covering the "attack". Especially the slow-mo replay of the weiners taking a digger... You should look for this video on YouTube.com and embed it in your blog. Would be much cooler.
I was working in Milwaukee when the attack happened. It was all over the national news, I remember, and all of us in Milwaukee just kept laughing and shaking our heads. All of the jokes were great, though!
