The Indians hold a hot dog race at home games to give the fans a little extra excitement between innings, and on Wednesday the dastardly ketchup-covered hot dog tried some underhanded tricks to get ahead.

Unfortunately, Ketchup still took the checkered flag despite clearly being the wurst. (I am so, so sorry. I ask for, but do not expect, your forgiveness for this terrible sausage pun.)
