Updated: The Challenge has been set
Posted on April 15, 2004 in LifeNext Friday is the first Yankee’s/Red Sox game at Fenway Park. For the home opener a few friends of mine have accepted “The 999 Challenge”
The basis of the challenge is to consume 9 beers and 9 hotdogs inside of 9 innings. I am currently putting together the guest list. I am also going to post the results and pictures here as well. I doubt the 9 beers will be a challenge, but the 9 hotdogs may be a different story.
I need to have a finalized guest list posted by Thursday of next week. If any dedicated baseball fans are interested, please send me an email. (Yankees fans need not apply)
Here is the Final guest list.
- Myself
- Coop
- Rich
- Dave
- P. Austin
- Ponte
- Picard
- Chris Griffin a.k.a "Steve"
- Peter
As of now I think the heavy favories are Ponte and Rich, the cinderella pick is probally going to be coop, that little fairy. Results and Pictures on Saturday.

I thought Picard was a Yankees fan. Do we have a radio and lawn chair for him to listen to the game outside in the dark by himself?
Yes, happens to be right next to where apollo likes to make "doggy mud pies"
Im in.
but can I cut out the Hot dogs and double up on the BEER!!!
You don't have to take the challenge if your balls are missing.
do i have to like baseball for this?
Expesive challenge. Be looking at close to $100.
It will be 9 beers in 7 innings. Fenway will shut you off after that. If Yankees fans start getting their asses beat up in the bleachers they may cut off earlier.
We're not going to fenway, although that would be awesome, the location is my house in Providence
Keg of Pabst Blue Ribbon ... $39.00
99 hotdogs on sale ... $14.75
99 hotdog buns stale $11.00
11 of your frineds chain puking all over your living room ... Priceless!
Maybe do a shot of jagermeister per out instead.
I tried doing something like that for a few of the patriots games.. every point scored.. gets real messy..
We could do every Pedro strikeout is a shot that too could be nuts!
Looks like Shilling is starting Friday not Pedro.
OK......Im just going to come with a new toliet seat. You know what can happen when i drink too much.
Yeah your site is right in front of the "Bucket o Shame"
Do you think you will be able to complete "the challenge" for that matter who will and who wont ..
We should take side bets.
who are the patriots playing on friday?
Matt, The Patriots won the superbow and Janet Jackson whipped out her boob. Martha Stewart was convicted, Iraq hates us, Gas Prices are rising and Osama Bin Laden is still a dirty twat.
That should catch ya up to speed.
Question ? What if the game goes into extra innings. Do i have to eat and drink an additional beer per inning. The beer is not an issue, im sure i will have met the 9 beers bay the 5th inning. 9 hotdogs are going to be tough but having to eat extra, i don't know.
I've been pondering this very question for at least a week now. Here is the official ruling.
"The challenge" is just to eat 9 dogs .. If you want to be the "Top Dog" then you would have to eat as many as he/she does.
We are thinking of awarding a cash prize to the "Top Dog"
I say we all chip in $5-$10 bucks and the last one to puke takes all. If not it's the one who can consume the most.
FYI: Did you guys hear you got a-rod? Yeah, his name's Manny.
So...I see I'm not a cinderella pick...nor a favorite. I'm overlooked.
Ponte can vouge for me. I've eaten boxes of Casserta Pizza in one sitting and pissed off the entire tax department. I wasn't going to do it...because I will feel so obese...but, now its on like donkey kong beeyotches! (Please get low-carb bread)
I'm sorry Dave I wasn't informed to your gluttonous skills.
Last night we sanctioned for Ball Park "meat" hotdogs and I think were going to boil them, all 96 of em!
Were going to pick up a few spare packages tonight. Sorry, No low carb. bread. Good luck to you all.
I liked my odds a lot better before drinking so much last night. I know we can't puke during the game, but what if it happens before the first pitch is thrown? I may have to do a little "spring cleaning" to make room for the challenge.
WTF, You bought ballparks? They are probally the biggest friggan hotdogs you can buy. I deffinatly would invest in some buckets, because i guarentee there will be lots of people puking everywhere.
Were not grilling them so they wont "plump" when you cook them!
But it was Ballpark Franks of some 3rd rate, non-name brand hotdogs with shitty packaging..
I'm such a consumer whore. But I will refer to the title being a "Challenge"
I tend to think that no one will complete this task. Seeing how you are all Red Sox fans, you are destined to fail. Like after the eight beer the keg will go warm or there will be a gas leak. Besides if you really wanna puke just get really close to the screen when Jonny "Fat Baby Jesus" Damon is batting. That will make you puke big time. Enjoy this series Sox fans, cus every year you beat the yankees early in the season and start pounding your chests, then september, october rolls around and.. You know, its not even fun anymore. After last year the thrill is gone. Im hoping the Sox win the most games ever in a season, just so theres a new twist to your dissapointment." the pitch to boone.... oh no, no!"
