4. Watching the Sausage Race in Milwaukee

A number of MLB teams feature amusing mascot races at their home games. However, Milwaukee sports the unquestioned king of this category. No mascot races approach the hilarity of the Brewers’ Sausage Race.

There’s something wrong with fans who can’t find amusement in the idea that large meats are racing one another around the bases. The sausages in Milwaukee regularly engage in hijinks that give an unfair advantage to one meat over the competition.

No matter what’s going on in the game, scores of Brewers fans still manage to get on their feet and let out quality cheers when the Sausage Race occurs. Visiting fans shouldn’t be shy about getting in on the action. The Race truly brings fans of all ilk together for a brief moment.

The Sausage Race might go higher on this list if it required fan involvement to really shine, but it’s strictly a spectator sport on most nights. It’s still a can’t miss part of baseball’s diverse fabric.
