The only thing close to this that I can think of is an incident at PNC Park around 2014, in which a grounds crew member got swallowed by the tarp during a wind storm. Several players ran out on to the field to rescue him. In Jerry Reuss' book, he recounts an incident where he and another Dodger player dressed as crew members and raked the infield between innings. They got in trouble for this. I am not sure why. It must be a union thing.
