Hot Dog Eating Contest

Prior to the game each team has to pick a Least Likely to be Used player from the 25-man roster (of note: No SP who’s in rotation can be used as the pick).

If that player is inserted into the game at any point, said player must endure a hot dog eating contest against the opposing team’s bench coach. If said player loses, he’ll have to don the cone of shame during the rest of the game instead of the normal MLB cap/helmet.

Losers are encouraged to lie down at their respective positions of the field and scream repeatedly, WHY ME, GOD?! WHY ME?!  Ichiro Suzuki…you better stretch out that stomach. They don’t call him Terry “Weiner-Chomping” Pendelton for nothing!
