Sausagefest

Some places have dot races. Others have (virtual) car races. Milwaukee has sausage races.

In fact, the Milwaukee Brewers have had live sausage races (with people dressed as various types of sausages) at their ballpark since 2000. And starting next year, a new sausage will be in the race. (Well, he'll be in one race this year but then will head back to the Minor Leagues for more seasoning.)

There have been some amusing moments over the years. One time, Dodger pitcher Hideo Nomo wore one of the sausage suits and joined the race. The best one, though, was Sausagegate. (Also, here are some quotes when the particular sausage in question announced her retirement from sausage racing.)
