Major League baseball player, Randall Simon of the Pittsburgh Pirates whacked the Italian Sausage in the head during the Clement’s Sausage Race at the end of the sixth inning at Miller Park. Here’s the video
This is just hilarious. And I cannot believe how upset people are getting over this. “This is one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever seen inside a ballpark or outside a ballpark,” said Rick Schlesinger, Brewers executive vice president of business operations.
Liven up! It’s a freakin mascot, people! In fact, if the person inside the Italian Sausage costume was really fit for the job, she would have playfully fought back against Randall Simon. Maybe forcing him to finish the race with the sausages and brats.
If anything, it shouldn’t be Randall Simon who is in trouble, it should be the Italian Sausage for being such a weinie.
I agree. The outcry this is causing is outrageous. It’s a freaking mascot. The person had a few scrapes. Big deal. That comes with the territory of being a mascot. Randall Simon was just being playful. Geez, Louis. People are so freaking sensitive. So much for having some fun. If I were the one in the costume being hit by Simon, I would play along, maybe go into the dugout and have a “pushing match” with Simon. You know. Ham it up a bit.
And now Randall Simon is a Chicago Cub and my personal hero! Isn’t it funny how things can change so quickly!?
