KANSAS CITY – A member of the Kansas City Royals grounds crew avoided a serious injury during the rain delay in game one of the American League Division Series.
Social media made the teenager a celebrity after he was run over by the huge tarp used to protect the infield. Officials reported he was checked out and not injured.
Hey @Royals #TarpGuy, if u can survive that monster tarp attack, we are looking for some good officer candidates. http://t.co/fO2kUDJBXK.
