I may be wrong on this but I think Polish wins more than anyone

There are probably a thousand more popular Mexican names than Cinco, what the fuck.

Cinco the chorizo >>>>>> Chico the chorizo

Cinco = #5

― frogbs, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 15:48 (thirteen years ago)

And it can also be a name, but not a very popular one.

― rustic italian flatbread, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 15:49 (thirteen years ago)

And yeah, better than Chico, thank god.

btw do you really need to call this "stupid" opposed to other mascot tricks? the racing sausages have been duplicated in numerous other ballparks (Washington, Pittsburgh, and Arizona come to mind).

Think it was a Letterman ref, frogbs.

Cleveland Indians do the "Hot Dog Derby," a race between hot dog condiments: Ketchup, Mustard and Onion. But not relish. Or an actual hot dog, for reasons that are probably pretty obvious.

Baseball actually looks pretty fun when no one's actually playing.

“The sausages don’t talk,” said Tyler Barnes, the team’s vice president for communications. “It’s one of the basic rules of racing meat.”

I really wish Bernie still slid into the beer mug, no idea why they took that away. Not to mention the classic logo:

The Great Pittsburgh Pierogy Race N'at, commonly called the Great Pierogi Race, is an American mascot race between innings during a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game that features four contestants racing in giant pierogi costumes: Jalapeño Hannah (green hat), Cheese Chester (yellow), Sauerkraut Saul (red) and Oliver Onion (purple).

This might be the appropriate thread to point out that the mustard they use at Clevelands stadium (Jacobs' Field) is the best Ive ever had.
