While the Vancouver Canadians were thrashing the Everett AquaSox 7-1 on the diamond at Nat Bailey Stadium on Tuesday, Juan Ramos was destroying 76 inches of hotdog in the grandstand.

The ravenous baseball fan was not only filling his belly, he was also fulfilling a promise to himself.

“Last year the Canadians launched their three-foot hotdog and I managed to eat one. The funny thing is I had gone to dinner right before the game, so I was like ‘maybe next year I should (eat) my height.’ So on the home opener, I decided to try that and I did it,” said Ramos.

The Canadians introduced the Yard Dog, a three-foot meat beast that sells for $22, last season.

To prepare himself and make sure his appetite was where it needed to be, Ramos starved himself for 24 hours before Tuesday’s game.

At six-foot-four, Ramos needed to down two Yard Dogs and a regular hotdog to match his height.

He polished them off in 40 minutes.
