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.
