Gerald Green's ridiculous hops have been well documented and well utilized during a decade-plus career in the NBA. In fact, his most well-known moment came when he blew out the candle on a cupcake while dunking a ball during the 2008 Slam Dunk Contest. Remember this incredible display of athleticism and showmanship?

His name is David Vassegh, and he's the host of “Dodger Talk” on AM 570 in Los Angeles. Tuesday night was one of those nights when Vassegh had to bring his best fastball, as the Dodgers clinched the NL West for a remarkable seventh consecutive year, by far the longest streak of any team in the division's history. Vassegh was in the clubhouse for the celebration, one complete with a hefty dose of Budweiser. Considering he's probably done this the last six years, Vassegh had to know there was strong chance he'd get soaked, but he went on to the field of battle without goggles anyway. As he interviewed shortstop Corey Seager, third baseman Justin Turner flung almost an entire bottle of Bud heavy directly in Vassegh's eyes.
