Just before the bottom of the 6th inning in Wednesday afternoon's St. Louis/Milwaukee game, Cardinals catcher, Jason LaRue, bolted out of the St. Louis dugout and found himself smack dab in the middle of Miller Park's infamous "Wiener Race".

LaRue froze momentarily like a deer in headlights, but eventually eluded harm.  It was almost like playing the game Frogger, but without looking both ways before heading into the street.  Oh yeah, and the cars are giant, oversized wieners.



Cherish the Wiener Races while you can folks.  One more accident, coupled with the Randall Simon incident (also known as "SausageGate") a few years ago, and these puppies will be old news.

Aren't catchers supposed to have decent peripheral vision? Was that his first BBQ?

Could that be called Catcher Interference?

Dude, It's the "Sausage Race", not the "Wiener Race"

I would love to hear reactions from the people inside the sausages.

Too bad Randall Simon's otherwise impressive career will be overshadowed by said "SausageGate". Wait...what did I just say?

Just as suspected, "SausageGate" sounds as ridiculous as it did three years ago when that whole Randall Simon thing was going down.

Bob Gibson

Needless to say, the 35,000 Brewers fans in attendance that night were a bit disappointed when they bought tickets to see Bob Gibson’s first start in Milwaukee.
