Dodgers minor league outfielder Alek Thomas may not have known it, but when he stepped out of the visitor's dugout at Sutter Health Park before the start of a game between the Oklahoma City Comets and Sacramento River Cats on Saturday, he was entering a crosswalk. Unfortunately for Thomas, he forgot one of the most important rules: look both ways before crossing.
It was at that exact moment, as Thomas emerged from the Comets dugout, that River Cats mascot Dinger came hurtling downhill on a scooter and collided with Thomas, sending both mascot and baseball player sprawling into the dirt.
