Baseball Fan Pelted With Hot Dogs, Removed From Ballpark

Nothing beats a $1 hot dog. During the New York Mets $1 hot dog night, a man was pelted by fans with the meaty treats, resulting in his removal in the ninth inning.

Mets officials announced that they sold a stadium-record 44,269 hot dogs during the $1 promotion. The attendance was a whopping 22,880, meaning they sold about two hot dogs per fan.

One of those fans was wearing a custom T-shirt, which he wrote on to keep track of his consumed hot dog and beer tally. The shirt read “bad day to be a glizzy,” which was referring to the nickname for a hot dog.

Eventually, fans started launching hot dogs at him as the game went on before several police and security staff went down to his section and escorted him out of the area. In total, the man consumed nine hot dogs and 10 beers at the time of his departure, according to his shirt tally.

Videos of the incident were posted to X and showed the meaty dogs raining down on the man. Although this fan may have lost that night, the New York Mets went on to beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 at Citi Field in Queens, New York.
