"The show must go on"



The nightly sausage race, a crowd pleasing feature at all Milwaukee Brewers' home games, turned ugly....er amazing.

If you notice in the footage, Pittsburgh Pirates player actually hits the Italian Sausage as it passes the visitors dugout. The force of the blow knocks the Italian Sausage over, taking the Hot Dog down with it. With only a glance back, it became clear that the Bratwurst was going to take this opportunity to take the lead. Being the true sportsman that it is, the Polish Sausage stops to help it's fallen Italian counterpart. After a short struggle, the Hot Dog, Polish Sausage, and Italian Sausage courageously stagger towards to finish line. In an inspiring display of showmanship, and despite the pain and humiliation, the Italian Sausage knew the show must go on.

This was clearly racially motivated. The hot dog was never intended to fall. It only went down after the "Italian" sausage was taken out. Bratwurst and Polish sausage, beware.

You never know what to expect on 'Turn Back The Clock Night'. I thought Italian Sausage was known for its strength and resilient flavor. All it took was a check swing and bang, dominoes. Total miscast.
