YOU JUST GOT JACKED UP! The River Cats Mascot Absolutely Smoked Dodgers Minor Leaguer Alek Thomas While Riding Around The Field On His Scooter
Alek....what is the first rule you learn as a little kid? Look both ways before crossing the street! It seems like Thomas forgot that rule and got absolutely steamrolled by....a cat in a Santa costume. I may have went 1-19 in my JV football career but one thing I do remember is my coach always saying "HEAD ON A SWIVEL!!!", clearly Thomas didn't get that same advise. He thought he could just jog out of the dugout without looking both ways, nope! This mascot leveled him, I mean knocked him right off his feet. Looked like a mid 2000s NFL hit, shades of Urlacher catching someone over the middle. You know that had to hurt too, metal handlebars right to the ribs when you're not looking, that's got to be an awful feeling. Especially when you come to and realize it's a fucking intern in a costume on a scooter. You gotta get off the track when the train is coming though, gotta be aware of your surroundings.
This also isn't the first time this year the Dodgers have had a minor leaguer get hurt via a freak accident involving an animal of some sort....you remember Kendall George getting hurt trying to avoid a bat dog. Just not a good track record for the Dodgers farm system and mascots.
You bet your ass Thomas is gonna be looking both ways when he crosses out of the bullpen next game he plays.
