Minor League Baseball is truly a delight. I’ve written about my love Minor League ball at length in the past here at BroBible dot com. It’s affordable family fun that leans into the silliness of professional sport while still presenting a high-level sporting product. From the hilarious team names to the ridiculous promotions, it’s everything that attending a sporting event should be.
However, in the words of my close, personal friend Gucci Mane, sometimes you can get lost in the sauce. Unfortunately, that appears to be what happened to the poor Hartford Yard Goats of the Double-A Eastern League. See, when the Yard Goats were dreaming up concession items for the 2025 season, they made sure to ask “can we?” but did not stop to ask “should we?” The result of that flawed thought process was what they affectionately call the “Float Your Goat.”
The “Float Your Goat” is “a 1/4 pound all beef hot dog with chopped peppers, onions, bacon & brown mustard submerged in a glass of 100% whole goat milk.”
If that made you throw up a little just thinking about it, trust that you are not alone. See, ridiculous ballpark food is all part and parcel of attending a professional baseball game. But normally that food is, y’know, good. This, however, is an abomination that we cannot imagine anybody ever ordering. Don’t trust us? Just look at the Instagram comments
“Can’t wait to throw up all over the place from having one of these every inning,” one fan wrote about the item.
“You’re a little early for April fools,” said another.
There are, however, men braver than I. Like Instagram user @Buono318 who said simply “Request: a hole through the hot dog to use as a straw.”
I do not even want to begin to think about what something like that does to your stomach after eating it. They say that necessity is the mother of invention. But we’re not super sure this was all that necessary. And if we had to see it, then you do too.
