It was pouring rain Monday night at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park, but the Reds staff put on a humorous spectacle for viewers.
When it rains, a large tarpaulin is usually laid out on the sand court so that it does not get wet. Staff executions are usually a good example of team spirit, but this time someone was left behind.

One employee attempting to join his faster colleagues with his piece of tarpaulin slipped and unfortunately there was no turning back. Two of his comrades watched as he was helplessly swallowed up by the giant screen.
In the animal’s stomach, the man had to crawl to free himself, and he managed to do so after a few seconds. From afar, fans only saw a bump moving under the large vinyl tarpaulin.
After all, more fear than harm and probably a little embarrassment for this raincover survivor.
