Tower of Twinkies power

June 3, 2003, 9:37 AM CDT

Quote:
The Cubs may want to put up a "Please Don't Feed the Millionaires" sign at the bleacher entrance.

During Sunday's game, fans in the left-field bleachers waved Twinkies at Houston's Lance Berkman, a not-so-subtle reference to his "relaxed fit" body type.

During a pitching change in the seventh, the good-natured Berkman gestured to fans to throw a couple Twinkies into his outstretched mitt. After they complied, Berkman ate one to a loud ovation, then stuffed the other in his back pocket.

The next inning, Berkman hit a two-run homer to seal the Astros' 9-3 win. Chants of "Twinkie Power" rang out when he took the field in the eighth.

Did fans hurt the Cubs by providing Berkman with a late-inning sugar boost?

I don't think this'll stop anything though - the better you idiot-proof a system, the more impressive the idiot becomes.

This was just Lance's cry for an endorsement deal. Hopefully Hostess will get the hint and sign him up to pimp their logs of overprocessed sugar.
