Dodgers reporter David Vassegh went down "Bernie Brewer's slide" twice, and the second time it didn't go well:

Vassegh is 46, and probably shouldn't be doing things like this.

He somehow went back to his job in the 5th inning and completed his duties at that point.

Here's an ESPN article on it: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...e-brewer-slide


I actually heard Vassegh on his first radio gig in the '90s, when he was working as an intern to LA sportstalk legend Joe McDonnell, who I was a big fan of. Vassegh was a young guy at the time, and was frequently derided as "the kid" and criticized on air when things didn't go right behind the scenes. However, apparently Vassegh and McDonnell actually became very close, and Joe's rants against him were an act. Vassegh was the one who McDonnell, then 700 pounds, called to help him when he "fell and couldn't get up" at home. McDonnell had gastric bypass surgery soon after, lost a ton of weight, but died in his late 50s in 2015.

Vassegh finally came into his own, becoming host of Dodger Talk in 2012, and has had the job ever since. He did annoy Adrian Gonzalez in 2015 when he kept criticizing Gonzalez's speed on the basepath, causing Gonzalez to challenge him to a race:




Vassegh lost really badly.


In this situation, the injury might have helped him, as it brought him the most attention he's ever had. Austin Barnes even dedicated his home run that night to Vassegh.
