Cubs may now sign Kobayashi for the bleacher bums

by @ 9:04 am. Filed under 2008 Cubs

Now, I’ve never been to Wrigley Field so I don’t understand the intricacies of being a bleacher bum. But I didn’t think one had to risk his own life for the opportunity to cheer on the Cubs.

The gentlemen at Awful Announcing posted this video of a hot dog-eating contest in the bleachers and the results are, well, priceless.

I think AA is right on the money when they say:

It’s never good when you A) Lose to a woman in an eating contest and/or B) Almost dying and needing the Heimlich Maneuver.

I’d also include “C)Your friend is laughing hysterically while videotaping your near-death.”

The worst part is that a Reds fan was trying to save his life. If their fans perform just as well as their team, I think I’d rather take my chances with trying to cough the hot dog up.
