At halftime at Arena Footbal games I’ve seen a football game between various area mascots. It’s amazing how much dexterity some of those guys have with those costumes on.

Turner Field in Atlanta has the Home Depot Tool Race-a hammer, a saw, a drill, and a paint brush race around the stadium. It’s pretty silly, but I always enjoy watching as they race by.

@ EMStoveken: I had begun to think I was the only person in the world who loved a good grilled PB&J. My friends think I’m weird when I mention it, but it’s been a family tradition as far back as I can remember!

@matt – that’s why Cubs fans are so boring!

US Cellular Field, where the Chicago White Sox play, have a Connie’s Pizza race on the scoreboard every game. Cheese, Pepperoni, and Sausage have it out. I hope one day they’ll move it to the field!

One minor league racing group I quite like is the Milwaukee Admirals racing Merkts Cheese. Since the Admirals are a hockey team, the Racing Cheeses have to run around the rink on the ice! Always good for a laugh.

Does anyone remember the old Monty Python sketch of the Queen Victoria Handicap? A bunch of old guys, dressed as Queen Victoria, running around a horse racetrack. “And it’s Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria and Queen Victoria â€”!”
