Brewers broadcasters get trapped inside broadcast booth, have to be rescued (Video)
Three Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcasters were trapped inside their broadcast booth at Miller Park Wednesday and had to be rescued by ladder. Seriously.
After realizing they were stuck in the booth because the lock was broken, those in the WTMJ radio booth had to ask for help. A worker put a ladder up against the booth and climbed in from the concourse, then went to work on taking the door of its hinges.
Play-by-play man Jeff Levering recorded a video of someone climbing into the booth:

The only downside to being freed was having to deal with the ladder:

At least it wasn’t too much of an impediment for broadcaster Joe Block. The good news is that Bob Uecker didn’t have to do too much either.
Bob Uecker is free, folks. Now he's overseeing construction. pic.twitter.com/NFf5xt3x7X

This was definitely a much better rescue story than the one we saw in Seattle over the weekend.
