Sausage Whacking?

This was the highlight in the business news department this morning.
At a Milwaukee Brewers home game during the usual sausage race, that's right people in Wisconsin dress up as giant sausages who race around the field, a baseball player reached out and whacked the Italian sausage in the back of the head with a bat. This caused a domino effect and suddenly there were two sausages on the ground. These poor weiners got scraped up and had quite the time getting up off the ground. The sausage whacker was escorted out of the ball park at the end of the game in handcuffs.
According the Wisconsin native and co-worker Jerry Stockfisch people in the stands really get into the whole thing and even make bets. From this page you can get to the article and even better the video of the giant sausages running and in plain view the actual whacking.
You think someone put a hit out on the Italian sausage so their favorite sausage could win the race?
