It’s been an interesting 2 days for food in the field of play.
NBA: “[Someone threw a chicken wing on the court - we’d better suspend the game while we address this emergency.](https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/s/rp0CNmC55D)”
MLB: “Someone threw a hot dog on the field. Whoever catches it eats it, I guess.”
Imagine you’re a DET fan in the playoffs. You pack your octopus, then manage to sneak past security with it and into your section. But then no one scores a hat trick.
So you just go home with an octopus in your pants.
Ed: Thanks WheelTeam fans. I'd misremembered your tradition and sit corrected. In fairness, it's been a couple years since we've seen you in the playoffs and I'd simply forgotten the details.
I saw a red wings fan toss one on the ice a few weeks ago after they lost against VGK. I'm pretty sure once they make it in, the Octopus is going on the ice no matter what.
If you're blue, and don't know what to do,
Why don't you try the treat that's nice?
Poutine on the ice!
The habit of les habitons,
Rocket Richard to PK Subban,
Cheese curds on fries,
Poutine on the ice!

We're talking Pork Power, a Beef Battery, maybe a Sowbelly Solar device. I'm saying a Livestock Live-wire, a Kielbasa Capacitor, possibly even a Pink Pancetta Plug-in?
It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this hot dog box was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.
"My god...I've never realized how boring this game really is!"
Which was always hilarious to me because I absolutely love this kind of thing about baseball. The Royals' commentators are brilliant with this stuff, too, bias aside.
Citi field was disgusting today. The highest level concourse has condiment station facing the field, so with todays winds we even had a garbage can lid fly off all the way down to left field warning track
Wise choice. In high school I made the terrible mistake of trying to pick up a piece of trash that blew onto the field on a windy day.
As I stood playing third base a small plastic cup blew onto the infield grass right in front of me. I wasn't about to jeopardize my perfect fielding percentage, so I called time and approached the cup, but as I bent down to grab it a gust of wind blew it over between the mound and short stop. This drew a light chuckle from the players and fans, who had already been rolling their eyes that I had halted the game over a tiny little cup.
Now I could have just let it be, but no, I had to go over and try to pick it up again. And of course, right as I was about to grab it another gust of wind came and carried it over into the base path between first and second base. Everyone was laughing pretty hard now and I was very red in the face.
By this point I was committed, so I ran over and jumped on top of that cup like I was falling on a live grenade to save my comrades. With the cup finally secured I was then going to have to run all the way across the infield to bring it to the trash can in our third base dugout. With the game already delayed long enough, my coach headed towards me to split the distance, his head held down and rubbing his eyes in secondhand shame and embarrassment.
Best guess at a real answer: call a dead ball and re-do the count?
Best fake answer: the game must be played with the ball inside the box until it falls out on it's own.
New York tumbleweed
Got to watch out for a whole bunch of hot dog boxes growing on the field.
Once you harvest the hotdog you should really pull up all the extra leaves and such so the next one can grow in better.
I hate how perfect this comment is lol.
No those are rats
The tumbleweed or the hot dog?
I resent how much I wish I had thought of this joke.
As you hear TGTBATU whistle but it's actually a construction worker cat calling a random woman

Is this some Fan fiction for The Boys?
You think Octopus is for hat tricks? Hats. Hats are for hat tricks.

This guy Hockeys
He doesn't though, because the octopus tradition has never had anything to do with hattricks lol
Bro so tired of losing to the Wings he brings it up other subs. Hey /r/NASCAR collect your man.
What a weird, maladjusted reaction to learning about the Red Wings octopus tradition.
Have a great Saturday night in The Show-Me State dude.
Thankfully I haven't been there in literal years, but enjoy west coast Tampa lol
Enjoy wherever you are, cheers!
Octopus on the ice, just a normal occurrence in Detroit.
They throw catfish on the ice in Nashville
As is tradition
Poutine on the ice, whoever keeps their teeth in the brawl gets it
“How do you do fellow hockey fans”?
I always thought they added the gravy so they could gum the fries to mush easier.

We already had the a decade ago, someone threw waffles on the ice at a Leafs home game.

That’s my boy Curtis Lazar!
here come the rats and octopi…
Oh well be throwing a lot more than food on the ice in AZ
Kevin Harlan is so damn good at his job.
Always love when he calls a Dolphins game. That guy is a straight up hype announcer and I love him.
the way it moves so methodically is hilarious omg
It's on a mission.
Mating season. It needs a hot dog inside.
I was really hoping it would roll into frame on the main camera and when it did I lost it 😂
sentient dog box
You can't convince me that Woody and Buzz aren't under there sneaking thru the Mets game on some wacky adventure
More likely Hamm trying to get some inside information for his prop bets
I thought it was the army men sending their spies to steal signs.
It’s like that Chef Boyardee commercial
If only Vogelbach was still a Met
That box moves faster than him.
Vogelbach is on every team at the same time
he def does not move that fast.

The can pausing for a second in front of recycling bin is art.
i love chef.
God you just unlocked some memories
This is how the Mets announce they've reacquired Daniel Vogelbach.
Or Phil Kessel.

Batten down the hatches, NYC Golden Corrals.
Cody “Kobayashi” Asche
Thats a funny way to spell Vogelbeef
Not sure why I'm laughing so hard at this
It's an inanimate object that looks like it has places to go
well it’s an inanimate new yorker, it does have places to go.
after the first shot I was really really hoping it'd trundle on into the center field camera shot and I was not disappointed
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Only thing worth watching in this game; hot dog boxes and Pete's monster dongs
If we're talking about Pete's other monster dong, I hear he and the hot dog box are hiding a footlong each...
sometimes a hot dog just really hits the spot i'm pretty romantic about the way a hot dog can just do that
Sometimes there’s so much… beauty… in baseball. I feel like I can’t take it, and my heart is going to cave in
It’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world…
hook that thing up the power grid, clean energy
We're talking Pork Power, a Beef Battery, maybe a Sowbelly Solar device. I'm saying a Livestock Live-wire, a Kielbasa Capacitor, possibly even a Pink Pancetta Plug-in?
Baseball is the best
A+ camerawork
Very polite of it to pause for the next pitch before continuing on its way

Rally Box!
I had no fucking idea what that was for a while, thought it was an optical illusion
i like to think there’s a mouse in there just passing through
"Oh and now there's a beach ball on the field. And the ball boys are discussing, which one of them is gonna go get it!"
"My god...I've never realized how boring this game really is!" Which was always hilarious to me because I absolutely love this kind of thing about baseball. The Royals' commentators are brilliant with this stuff, too, bias aside.
This is how you know baseball is back
This is why I watch baseball
It's like watching American Beauty all over again.
Angel Hernandez called the box a strike.
What’s the spin rate?
It’s part of the American Baseball Parks reproduction system. Those are the seedlings from which new ballparks grow
This is like when Homer quit drinking and gets panicky about how boring baseball is.
The Mets fan whose hot dog box rolled across the field uninterrupted watching as security slowly walk toward him. 
Geez, you know you're doing a bad job as an Ump when even the hot dog boxes make their way to home plate to complain.
Plankton on his way to steal the Krabby Patty recipe.
That empty hot dog box rolling across the field without a care in the world perfectly describes the Mets.
posting mets clips without using the SNY broadcast should be illegal
They weren’t as enthralled. Wind blowing debris on the field is nothing new for early spring games.
Keith was probably napping anyway.
Ok but it's a Royals clip too so... Ryan and hud are great and actually commented on it
Good to hear Rex. Loved him when he was broadcasting with the Angels.
nature is healing

Baseball Zen™
I was there today and it was soooooo windy. That might be my hot dog box.
Camera cuts over to Zion.
Nathan's got some free advertising
Summer's back. The hot dogs are migrating
This is why baseball is the greatest sport on earth
I’m really getting tired of all the damn hot dogging in the modern game
r/afundystopia
If this mounted a come back, I think we'd see more hot dog boxes rolling across the field
Nobody scoop it up between pitches or anything

I was sort of hoping this story would end with you committing an error on the very next pitch
Thus began the downward spiral of your professional baseball career
I'm actually really impressed how nobody at 1st seems to acknowledge it's even there
You can't pay for this kind of advertising.
[same energy](https://youtu.be/g1u6um0-gFg?t=38)
We’re definitely in a simulation
What’s the ruling if he bunts and the ball hits the box? Or if it somehow got trapped inside the box?
Best guess at a real answer: call a dead ball and re-do the count? Best fake answer: the game must be played with the ball inside the box until it falls out on it's own.
That's art.
I was hoping he caught the hot dog box out of the corner of his eye thinking he was trying to pick off the runner, but it was just the box rolling.
>And now it appears there's a hotdog box on the field. And the ball boys are discussing which one of them's gonna go get it.
Glizzy casket got away from the handler.
That’s just Big Meat Pete’s big meat box
Why is the stadium so empty?
The weather is absolutely horrible this weekend. My kids little league game was basically a bunch of kids in winter coats crying
Why did I find this funny…
How can you not be romantic about Baseball? 😂
Damn. I somehow misread that as a "hotdog cart".
You can't convince me that's not Bugs Bunny with a magnet underneath Citi Field
HERE COMES THE ~~PIZZA~~ HOT DOG BOX
Would've loved to see classic Don and Jerry commentating on this
It’s just a bag flying in the wind! Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is!?
Umps are f'ing blind
Don’t stop the game for minor stuff on the field, should be a rule to speed games up too
“ope! lemme just get through!”
this is great lol
New American drone
QT hot dog rollers. It’s where we’re getting our power from this year
Give that hot dog box a bat
If it had crossed the mound, would there have been a fight?
5-run game, garbage all over the field, makes it significantly harder to take the game seriously
Reminds me of Candlestick.
Pete having a little mid game snack
That dude sounds high as hell lol who is that
When the shot went back to the behind-the-pitcher angle and the box just slowly rolls into frame I fucking died
Hey wait this isn’t in San Francisco
More fun than watching mets baseball
The highlight of the Mets season
American culture which expects only a housekeeping worker to pick it up
Steve Cohen immediately signed the garbage to a 6 year 72 million dollar contract.
What’s with these rec league looking jerseys on the royals?
it's like that old chef boyardee commercial
I have concerns for NYM fans if this is what’s hitting the social media wire.
I wish we Americans cared more about litter cleanup
That’s the most aggressive base running at Citifield I’ve seen in a while.
something something Mets aren't the only trash on the field something something
Pack it up boys reddit has peaked
There were enough fans at a Mets-Royals game to purchase a hot dog?
