Video captures moment maniac tackles mascot during Colorado Rockies game

It was the dingbat versus Dinger.

Denver police are on the hunt for a crazed baseball fan who tackled and injured the Colorado Rockies mascot during Monday’s home game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The beer-guzzling suspect — who was not wearing attire affiliated with either team — leaped into Dinger while the mascot was performing above the Rockies dugout at Coors Field, video shows.

An employee grabbed the fan and escorted him away as Dinger struck a quick dance move, high-fived a fan and jogged off the dugout top.


The assailant was sipping a 24-ounce can of Modelo before he pounced on the mascot.
