Reports: BoSox's opening day almost ketchup-less

Betallsports · Apr 12, 2009

A trucking dispute almost led the Boston Red Sox to have no ketchup for their opening day hot dogs, according to reports.

The manager of Crosby Trucking in Sidney, Ohio, told the Boston Herald that its driver, Christopher Kindle, didn't bring the ketchup shipment because he was angry with the company over fines.
Instead of bringing the $43,000 shipment to Massachusetts, police told the Herald and the Sidney Daily News that Kindle admitted to leaving the trailer in Tennessee.
"On Monday I got an e-mail asking where the load was at ..." Kevin Mitchell, a manager for Crosby Trucking told the Daily News.
"That's when I was told the ketchup was for the Red Sox home opener."
The shipment was supposed to arrive April 3, the Herald said.
However, since the Red Sox's game against the Rays was postponed Monday, a new shipment came Tuesday in time for the game, the Daily News reported. Kindle, 39, of Ohio, was arrested Wednesday.

Wonder if this would've led to another pizza throwing incident.

Fans just could have drained Schilling's sock.
(Sorry Sox fans, just couldn't resist)

Ketchup is disgusting anyways. The smell, the taste, the texture. Every time someone orders one from their seat and I have to pass it down I hold my breath. Besides, I thought ketchup on hot dogs is a sin once you're past 8. Fuck, I hate all condiments in general, they just cover up the taste of everything. Just give me the food plain, dammit.

Especially if the ketchup is like 2 months old in that aluminum squeeze thing.

Good tangy mustard is OK, but yeah, the rest of the condiment family you can have.

I don't need no stinking ketchup on my fenway frank! Now french fries that's another matter.

You guys still sell those amazing sausage sandwiches just outside the park?

Real ballpark goers do not need ketchup!

MikeB, thanks for posting that clip. That's a good memory. Don and Rem can barely contain themselves.

This thread made me think of these. Honestly, I think this is the best food at the park.

Of course, I for one can't walk by one of those when I go to Fenway without getting one.

Still so funny... "He's been asked to leave the ballgame for ruining a good piece of pizza."
