The Dodgers reporter who hurt himself going down the Brewers’ slide got the ol’ body outline treatment

Poor David Vassegh.

The reporter for Spectrum Sportsnet took a ride on the Milwaukee Brewers slide at American Family Field, and the result was a bad one: Vassegh has a pair of fractures in his hand and wrist … and six fractured ribs.

Reaction!

He loved it!
