Twins nearly lose Byron Buxton to Milwaukee sausage collision

Related Topics: Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins

Byron Buxton provided an excellent demonstration of why you should always look both ways before exiting the dugout on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Twins star nearly put himself at risk of the mother of all weird baseball injuries in the middle of the sixth inning of a road game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, when he emerged from the dugout not realizing the Brewers' iconic sausage race was underway.

Buxton didn't realize his error until he was standing squarely in the path of Sausage No. 1, aka Bratwurst. The outfielder at least showed pro athlete reflexes in getting out the way after looking behind himself.
