It's the classic conundrum: Do you take your catcher's gear off to eat your hot dog or do you try to shove it through the face guard?

Like any rational human being, the young man proceeded to stuff a ballpark frank through his helmet. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain and he conceded to lifting up the mask.

There's a lesson to be learned here: Helmet makers need to consider the broadness of a hot dog when designing important protection gear moving forward.
