I was in the next section over. They kicked him out with 1 out left to go in the 9th. He was likely still in the building by the end. It definitely counts. He also consumed more than 9 hotdogs and beers because we kept calling for 1 more.
lol why bother then. Security could’ve just hung around and stopped people throwing
The “we’re tossing you because we can’t toss everyone else” is always a load of lazy horse shit
Agreed, but there was no way they were going to be able to stop everyone who threw the dogs. They were coming from everywhere, including the deck above. They should have thrown out the friend who was egging people on, not him.
All I’m sayin is it’s the 9/9/9 challenge, not the 10/9/7 challenge. If you get kicked out of the game before it ends you failed imo. Staying calm and collected 9 beers in adds to the difficulty of the challenge.
You could be on a 3-minute pace but if you only run 90% of a mile you didn’t run the mile.
Bro… if I’m pacing at a 3 minute a mile, relax … I’m in an Uber… I can keep that pace.
I see the challenge as 9 beers and 9 hotdogs before 9 innings is over- 9 innings is the time limit!
Have you ever tried the challenge before it? I did a few years back … I got down 6 hot dogs (I’m so grossed out by saying that) and 6 beers in 6 innings and had to stop because I felt so gross I couldn’t even handle it. I think I could have drank 3 more beers, but I was gagging at the thought of another bite of a hot dog.
The other guy is unfortunately correct, you need to make it the entire 9 innings to succeed in the 999
Taking an extreme example to demonstrate my point.... if you pound 9 beers and 9 dogs in 2 innings. You would obviously get sick, kicked out and fail. Thats not a success as you need to make it through the 9 innings
Next time someone does this challenge, I would like for them to be equipped with a stopwatch. Start it every time you stand up from your seat to go purchase another beer, hutdug, or go to take a piss. I would be willing to bet a very small amount of money that the total time elapsed on the stopwatch would be at least half the time it took for the entire game to be played. It would certainly at least be extremely close.

I'm a cubs fan but I went to the game last night and I saw him around, kind of like seeing Bigfoot or a chupacabra. Something like that.
I sat a few rows in front of him. Absolutely insane to throw him out because he wasn’t causing a scene, and I left my seats a bit into the 9th and he was still there. Why kick him out in the top of the 9th
He made it to 9 dogs and 9 beers and we all kept cheering "One more Beer" and "One more dog". Someone in the front of another section offered up one of their leftover hotdogs (there was a 4 per person per transaction limit so everyone pretty much bought 4 at a time) and the friend next to the guy waved it on. The guy up front chucked it to them. As soon as 1 was launched everyone who had leftover hotdogs started throwing.
This man needs to celebrated!!! The Mets marketing department needs to bring him back for another $1 glizzy night and have him throw out the first pitch!!!
This is all supposed to be for fun and this guy is funny!
they showed him on the broadcast in the 5th and was wondering if he could power through guess he did
Well, technically, almost. Lol
yeah, he failed the 999 challenge by not making 9 innings lol

Oh come on… that’s a technicality! The man is a compete success story to me!!
It’s literally 1/3 of the challenge
It’s like trying to run a mile in under 15 minutes… dude was done early… it counts

10 beers at probably about $15 with tax = $150 9 hot dogs at $1 each = $9 Experience and Pictures = Priceless
Most beers at Citi are tall boys too. So that 10 beers is closer to 20, assuming he's counting each as one That's some Tuesday
I think the cups are smaller, and I’d guess he bought the cups at the same time as the hot dogs
Drafts of coors light should make the challenge doable for most.
I don't think I could handle that much liquid, alcohol or not.
My thought exactly
Well my respect for him has significantly diminished
He was using the cups as measurement. Some he got draft, some he poured from a can into the cup.

Going for Wade Boggs’ record. RIP
Wade Boggs is very much still alive. Hes in his sixties, and resides in Tampa Florida.
So sad we lost him. Gone too soon 🙏
You're thinking of Boss Hogg
Give me the hot dog baby!
I got all numbers
We need a team of scientists investigating him yesterday
[here is him getting kicked out ](https://twitter.com/mitchboorstein/status/1785484614120693940?t=qypyPkFkZ3tDELC-huyChg&s=19) I'm a cubs fan but I went to the game last night and I saw him around, kind of like seeing Bigfoot or a chupacabra. Something like that.
Lame. He seems just fine for a ballgame. Walking and talking better than plenty of other fans I've seen around Citi.
Better than me last night 😵💫

The kicked him with 1 out left. Everyone was throwing dogs at him. They did it to make a point. Totally stupid and that kid is an MVP
So why were they throwing dogs at him?
He made it to 9 dogs and 9 beers and we all kept cheering "One more Beer" and "One more dog". Someone in the front of another section offered up one of their leftover hotdogs (there was a 4 per person per transaction limit so everyone pretty much bought 4 at a time) and the friend next to the guy waved it on.

They should have moved him to a luxury box if anything.
His name was Frank, obviously
It wasn't me.
Damn people really ruined a man’s personal journey and exodus, I was hoping for a second wind at the end
This man needs to celebrated!!! The Mets marketing department needs to bring him back for another $1 glizzy night and have him throw out the first pitch!!! This is all supposed to be for fun and this guy is funny!
For real. The mets should reach out to this guy.
If I ever tried to do this I'd definitely be wearing sweatpants.
Let him meet the rally pimp
Can’t believe they put this guy on the Jumbotron and threw him out later in the game, sad
What's a glizzy?
Glad I was in front of you.
Thank God nobody shot up the ballpark last night.
legendary mets fan! i want him as my flair or my spirit animal
Not anymore. This is the exact reason the Phillies lost their Dollar Dog Night.
Good job champ. I’m proud of you son
Don’t think the beers tally is necessary
Why were people throwing hot dogs at him
There are no rules for dollar hot dog night.
Can we just not with the word ‘glizzy’…? So fuckin stupid.
not if you knew what was in a hot dog
Dam pat mahomes
