A Phillies Fan Got Absolutely Nailed By The Phanatics’s Hot Dog Cannon
I know we’re busy arguing about whether the Phillies are actually good or if Gabe Kapler is a legitimate manager but we need to take some time to focus on the real pressing issue:

I don’t want to laugh at someone else’s pain but that article literally made me laugh out loud. At first, I thought this was some PR stunt but nope, poor Kathy McVay literally took a wiener right off the noggin. This poor lady just had shoulder surgery so she was defenseless against flying hot dogs. After she took it right to the dome, she even had to get tested for a concussion.
“It just came out of nowhere. And hard,” McVay told WPVI.
Do you know how long I’ve been going to games trying to catch a free hot dog or tshirt from the mascot cannon?! I never get a Phanatic hot dog. I never get the Chick-fil-A parachute drop at the Sixers game. I am honestly jealous she got smoked in the face by that hot dog.
It’s been a rough week with headlines in our country so this one was definitely refreshing. Fortunately, it seems as if she didn’t suffer major injuries aside from a black eye (I cannot believe that a hot dog gun can cause black eyes). Plus, McVay seemed to have a good humor about it and the Phillies will give her a bunch of free shit so they don’t get sued. It all works out in the end.
