MLB Teams have a variety of between inning races that take place to entertain the crowd. The most famous is definitely the Milwaukee Brewers Sausage race, which occasionally ends with a player attacking a sausage or a sausage attacking a player. Vying for the second most famous race in the majors are probably the Pierogie Race in Pittsburgh and the President's Race in Washington D.C. Tonight in Pittsburgh, the two worlds collided. Literally. With Pittsburgh and Washington playing each other this evening, the racing Presidents (also known as the Rushmores since they are the likenesses of the four presidents on Mount Rushmore) came to PNC Park to face off in a relay race against the Pierogies (who are Jalapeno, Cheese, Sauerkraut and Onion). The race began right in front of us and continued around the warning track into right center field. With a winless Teddy Roosevelt close to the lead, we thought we might be seeing history. Unfortuntely for Teddy, he never saw Oliver Onion coming.
