Performance of the Week

  • The sausage race at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, turned ugly when the Pittsburgh Pirates' RANDALL SIMON thwacked the Italian sausage, Mandy Block, 19, with a bat as she passed by the dugout. She and an adjacent hot dog toppled over, but neither was hurt. Simon, who was suspended for three games and fined $2,432, apologized, but TV sports and news shows were grateful for a video they could replay endlessly.
