The Frontier League's Gateway Grizzlies will introduce a new sandwich to their concession stand this baseball season.
Billed as "Baseball's Best Burger," the sandwich consists of a beef patty, strips of bacon, and cheese, just like a traditional bacon cheeseburger.
Instead of the traditional bun, the greasy mess is then served on a Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Seriously.
I wish I were kidding.
This is why I got out of the sportswriting business ...

you know, I think I need to try this burger at least once, if for no other reason than to say I did.
I am going to have to say that this makes me kind of sick.
No really sick.
At least it's not a fried brain sandwich, a St. Louis specialty (Sauget is just east of St. Louis, as in the song "Sauget Wind" by Uncle Tupelo of fabulous Belleville, IL).
Wombat:
Lol...you know, if they made a turkeyburger version I might give it a shot, too.
Cooper:
Lol...I figured that might gross some folks out.
MM:
I've actually had pork brains. Not bad.
Ewww!
I grew up in a head cheese, ox-tail, braunscheiger, tonuge-eatin' German family, and they wonder why I'm a vegetarian? :-)
