Las Vegas - Take me out to the ballgame, then take ALL the money out of my wallet. Forget about peanuts & Cracker Jacks, check out this hamburger. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there's a new snack in town at Truist Park, the World Champions Burger. Tell me more Eck. Okay. We're talking a half-pound Wagyu beef burger topped with cage-free pan-fried eggs, gold-leaf-wrapped Hudson Valley foie gras, grilled cold water lobster tail, heirloom tomato, Bibb lettuce, Tillamook cheddar cheese and truffle aioli on a toasted, Irish-buttered brioche bun served with Parmesan waffle fries. So, have never had gold-leaf-wrapped foie gras. Actually, NEVER had any foie gras, gold or otherwise. Don't know what Bibb lettuce is, and truffle aioli sounds like a heart condition.

This burger sells for $151 bucks. Yea, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE BUCKS! But hold on, there’s also a $25,000 option that includes a limited-edition World Series Championship Ring. You bring the wife and two kids, buy everyone the World Champions Burger, with all the fixins' and the rings, and you're stuck for $106,000 and change. Then there's PARKING!!!

Fixin' to make a baseball pick, without the burgers, and looking at Tampa Bay with Shane McClanahan over the Orioles. The Rays keep finding these fabulous pitching prospects, and McClanahan fits the mold. Shane was born in Baltimore but he didn't show the O's any love, posting a FOUR & OH mark against the Birds last season. Gimme TB for the money.
