An image of a Minnesota Twins star holding a sausage from the Milwaukee Brewers goes viral.
Tuesday afternoon’s game between the Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers included Byron Buxton, one of the team’s stars, almost being run over by a sausage mascot from the Brewers.
When the Minnesota Twins traveled to Milwaukee on Tuesday to play the Brewers, a viral incident occurred when one of the Brewers’ sausage-racing mascots almost ran over star outfielder Byron Buxton.
Digging further revealed that Buxton was on the verge of being run over by the Bratwurst—as the Brewers put it.
After years of Olympic training with the German national team, where he never quite made it past the trials, Brat joins the Brewers. His bulky body makes him scary to the other competitors. Brat has been lifting weights for years, and he trains like a machine. He is intensely focused on winning every race and is highly competitive. But be careful—he might do whatever it takes to be the best. Shortly before a race, Hot Dog once discovered his sneakers in the trash. Though rumors abound, there is no concrete evidence connecting Brat to this infraction.
Brat enjoys racing with an aggressive mentality. He gets off to a quick start because he is driven to win, but in the end, he tends to tire out. The supporters admire him for his unwavering drive. Brat’s trick ankles are only one more flaw in his performance. His basketball playing years in his home country of Germany have turned out to be somewhat of a liability in numerous races. Brat is going to give anyone serious competition—as long as his ankles hold up.
It was a comical moment, but it would have been funnier if Buxton hadn’t had such a long history of injuries. He and the Twins really don’t need Buxton to lose any more time this season due to being run over by a brat.
