By Don Riddell, CNN(CNN) — The Milwaukee Brewers are deadly serious about their baseball this season. But this is a franchise that doesn’t always take itself too seriously, and a run to the Fall Classic would help showcase one of the most wonderfully ridiculous servings in sport: The slapstick sixth-inning sausage race. But from the very first race in the summer of 1993, these sausages have sizzled and arguably helped to modernize the most traditional American pastime. The Brewers wanted a special event to mark the return of the Brewers’ legend Paul Molitor, who had recently moved to Toronto, and a sausage race was it. In one, the sausages spoofed Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls, chasing panicked employees through a narrow office corridor.
