Keller competes in hot dog eating contest
Sam Keller has always been popular among the fans. But no one knew that his competitive streak stretched far beyond baseball. Keller yesterday participated in the (team's city) Hot Dog Eating Contest and took third place out of twelve contestants, consuming an incredible 42 hot dogs in the process.
"I really thought I had in the bag," said Keller. "I was ahead once we got to 40 hot dogs, but that's when I hit a wall." Keller said that he had been training for the competition for the last several months, eating hot dogs three meals a day and performing stomach-stretching exercises. "But all the training in the world is no substitution for the real thing!"
Though Keller didn't take home the trophy this time, coming home with just a stomach ache, he hopes to make another go at his soon. Team officials were dismayed by Keller's evident disregard for the team's training recommendations, but recognized that they weren't able to reign in Keller's free spirit. "That's just Sam being Sam," said Sea Nuggets GM Wes Andrews.
