PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies want to fuel their fans on a postseason run with a bit of gluttony through a small-scale twist on the popular 9-9-9 challenge .
The Phillies are selling nine bite-sized hot dogs paired with nine tiny beers — each not much more than a shot glass’ worth — in a one-stop box complete with a scorecard to keep track of the total.
The 9-9-9 challenge has gone viral as baseball fans try to drink nine regular beers and eat nine standard hot dogs during a game. The Phillies are offering the beer-and-dog combo in one package for $54.99 in section 128, starting with Saturday’s Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park.
