PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 The Philadelphia Phillies want to fuel their fans on a postseason run with a bit of gluttony through a small-scale twist on the popular 9-9-9 challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Phillies are selling nine bite-sized hot dogs paired with nine tiny beers \u2014 each not much more than a shot glass\u2019 worth \u2014 in a one-stop box complete with a scorecard to keep track of the total.<\/p>\n

The 9-9-9 challenge has gone viral as baseball fans try to drink nine regular beers and eat nine standard hot dogs during a game. The Phillies are offering the beer-and-dog combo in one package for $54.99 in section 128, starting with Saturday\u2019s Game 1 of the NL Division Series<\/a> against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park.<\/p>\n

\u201c9-9-9 is a regular season, middle of the summer challenge with your crew. October baseball is lock-in time<\/a>,\u201d retired NFL star JJ Watt wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

Watt completed the full-size challenge over 5 1\/2 innings<\/a> earlier this summer at a Milwaukee Brewers game.<\/p>\n

The Phillies are also selling stuffed turkey eggrolls and s\u2019mores espresso martinis on their postseason menu.<\/p>\n

The team and vendor Aramark were already selling Bader Tots<\/a>, named for outfielder Harrison Bader. At the baseball home of cheesesteaks and crab fries, the tots come like the heart of the Phillies\u2019 order: loaded. They\u2019re topped with American cheese sauce, crumbled bacon, cheddar Jack cheese, sour cream and scallions.<\/p>\n

The Phillies ended their popular $1 hot dog nights<\/a> ahead of the 2024 season and replaced them with a 2-for-1 promotion on select dates.<\/p>\n
