Member of Royals Grounds Crew Gets Swallowed Up in Tarp, Goes Down Hard

The rain was coming down during Thursday’s opening contest of the American League Division Series between the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals.

Seriously, it was pouring:

There was a rain delay in the top of the third, so the Royals grounds crew had to roll out the tarp. One guy almost got eaten alive.

He managed to escape, however. Staring danger in the face has a way of making people faster and stronger—he definitely checked off both the “fight” and “flight” boxes.

Houston won the game, 5-2. But more importantly: Crew member 1, Tarp 0.
