Forget the hot dog adorned with a thousand wild items, or the gut-busting order of nachos with three pounds of braised pork belly — the Myrtle Beach Pelicans have come up with the greatest concessions item of all time.
This $1 bat full of beer is the best concessions item in sports history
“Here’s $10, give me 10 bats please.”
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s so simple I don’t know why every ballpark in America doesn’t offer the bat glass full of beer. Then you throw a $1 price tag on top and it’s just perfection. Yes, there are considerations here, like the warmth of the beer when you get down to the handle — but these are petty concerns for a GIANT $1 BEER!
If we assume this is modeled after a standard 33 oz baseball bat, account for glass, you’re probably looking at a 26-ish oz beer. That’s not so massive that you can’t enjoy it before it goes crazy warm, and enough that it should keep you occupied for a while.
That said, I see a few problems too. Thousands of potentially drunken fans leaving a stadium with glass bats in their hands is a recipe for disaster. Still, small price to pay for such an amazing item.
Important update: The Dan Patrick Show loved the bat too, and, wanted it to be a part of their life too. Unfortunately, like all great things in life, it was too good to be true.
I am crushed.
