My parents and I took the kids out to see the Wilmington Blue Rocks take on the Frederick Keys last Friday night.After nine innings, the hometown Rocks were locked in a 1-1 tie. The hour was getting late, so we headed for home and never did find out who won the game.
We can state definitively, however, that the hot dog beat out the peanut and the popcorn during the bewteen-innings Mascot Mania race.

Forgot to mention, that here in Pittsburgh, we have anthropomorphic pirogies running races every game.
For those of you that would like to learn yet another word, pirogies are filled pasta pockets, popular amongst the polish - usually filled with mashed potatoes. And sometimes cheese. They are quite good, actually.
But I still think I like hot dogs better. Well, I mean the ones that don't run bases.

Any discussion of between-inning anthropomorphic foodstuff races would be incomplete without mentioning Randall Simon (former Pittsburgh Pirate and Philadelphia Phillie).
During a 2003 Pirates-Brewers game in Milwaukee, Simon interfered with the Sausage Race by tapping one of the participant's costumes with a bat as it ran by, toppling it into the other racers.
He was actually arrested for disorderly conduct, and suspended by the Pirates.
Moral of the story: anthropomorphic foodstuffs are not to be trifled with.
