Hot Dogs from Heaven: Seattle Mariners parachute glizzy’s into the stands at T-Mobile Park

The Seattle Mariners provided a breathtaking view over the weekend with hundreds of parachuting hotdogs ‘from the heavens’ down into the stands at T-Mobile Ballpark.

“Baseball is an American icon. It is the Statue of Liberty, the bald eagle, ‘In God We Trust,’ Mount Rushmore, ice cream, apple pie, hot dogs, and rally monkeys. Baseball is America.” – Victor Baltov, Jr. in Baseball Is America

I mean seriously, how can you not be romantic about baseball?

Great baseball quote above but I can’t recall a single MLB team these days with a rally monkey, can you? I think we need more of those along with some fresh apple pie. Then and only then, will America return to greatness.

Anyways, back to the parachuting hot dogs…

I’m not going to address the weird Mariners fans that commented below the video questioning why the parachuts conveniently landed in the lower levels while fans above missed out. That’s on par for crybaby Mariners fans and is a silly statement to make. Can’t allow that to overshadow such a beautiful sight to see from Seattle, whose concession food has been questionable at-best over the past few seasons.

I mean seriously, these freaks had the Philadelphia Phillies pride and joy, Mick Abel, eating grasshoppers during the 2023 MLB Futures game.

I’m still waiting to blame Abel’s lack of progression on the video below.

Mick Abel dominated the MLB Futures Game, ate grasshoppers in Seattle >>

Note on the 2023 MLB Futures Game: Abel struck out leadoff hitter Jonatan Clase on a nasty 82 MPH curve and allowed a single and a stolen base before notching his second strikeout of the game against Baltimore’s Heston Kjerstad. Abel threw 12 of 23 pitches for strikes with his fastball topping out at 96-98 MPH. 

Now the Seattle Mariners have hot dogs dropping from the skies on mini-parachutes? I guess the phrase “when pigs fly” actually applies here, right? Great to see things finally make a turn for the better and sorry, the “when pigs fly” was a shot I had to take. I’m not exactly happy with the “dad joke” either, k?

The fact that the Los Angeles ANGELS didn’t have “Hot Dogs from Heaven” locked in on their promotional calendar is a clear swing and miss. It’s no secret why the Mariners are in first place in the AL West while the Angels sit at the bottom in last place. Talk about the perfect example of Heaven and Hell.

I will say, watching other teams celebrate Dollar Dog Nights or any type of hot dog related activity at the ballpark brings back memories of last year’s Hot Dog Wave here in Philadelphia. 

In case you’ve been living under a rock or simply waiting for the official start of the 2024 MLB Season (June 1st) the Phillies killed Dollar Dog Night for BOGO (Buy One, Get One) hot dogs this season.

Bryce “BOGO” Harper

While it may seem like we are getting ripped off here, at the very least, we can be happy that Bryce “BOGO” Harper comes to play this year when glizzys are buy one, get one, at the Citizens Bank Park. 

Bryce Harper has feasted at the plate during the first three BOGO Dog Nights. Over the last 3 Hatfield Phillies Franks BOGO Nights, Harper has eight hits, 13 RBI, five home runs, and six runs scored in 11 at-bats. For those who need some math help, Bryce holds a .727 batting average during those games.

Numbers Don’t Lie: Bryce Harper rakes on Phillies BOGO Dog Nights >>

No parachute dogs, now dog waves, just baseball. Maybe that truly is what god intended it to be? Not sure. But as long as Bryce Harper and the Phillies are winning baseball games, the quicker we’ll all put our Dollar Dog Night obsession to bed.
