Cheese steak might have been safer...

A hot dog cannon can be a lot of fun at a baseball game, but sometimes it can be dangerous.

Philadelphia Phillies fan Kathy McVay was injured after being hit in the face with a hot dog during Monday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, per Sarah Bloomquist of 6ABC.

The Phanatic mascot launched the hot dog into the stands in between innings.

"It just came out of nowhere. And hard," McVay said about the hot dog. "And then the next thing I know he shot it in our direction, and bam! It hit me like a ton of bricks. My glasses flew."

    I smashed a hot dog into her face
    because she refused to pass
    the catsup because ... I forget why.
    So she ran after me and shook me
    then took the seven dollars and my keys
    and her card and went out to the movies
    and I took out my butcher knife
    and slammed it on her table and made
    four dents in it and then threw
    myself on the bed and stared at the cuff
    of my shirt and thought how love
    chokes you and then I got up and
    rubbed salad oil into the dents
    and cleaned up the house and
    made a pile of my books in the
    bedroom and got my pen and set the
    phone up in case anyone might call
    and looked in my address book
    for the list I have of possible
    lovers and called a few numbers,
    relieved they weren’t home, and then
    I wrote in my journal how I hate her
    then called Nicky on the phone
    and we talked during the commercial
    about rage. Then she said she had to
    hang up, it was a special on DeGaulle,
    so I hung up and leafed through
    a book of stories by women about love.

    Sounds like a case for Jackie Chiles.

    Was at a Tiger's game many years ago, a foul pop landed in the vendors mustard dish.

    Messy but no hot dogs were harmed.

    I'll be loading my hot dog cannon with frozen franks. No warning shots either Mutha####ers

    Damn compressed t shirts can do some damage.

    Maybe they should go back to playing baseball.

    She will probably sue and claim she is traumatized by the whole ordeal

    Story noted that she did not intend to. On the one hand the stadiums are extending the netting to protect the distracted fans and then they shoot stuff at them.

    Poor logic.

    Good thing that Philadelphia isn't a litigious city - nothing to worry about. :p

    Some people here sue over an incorrect weather forecast. ;)

    Perhaps shooting the items high into the air, and having them come down utilizing little parachutes is the answer. The hot dog just gently falls right into the lap. Although the dynamics of doing that with a cold drink are probably a bit more difficult.

    That's the type of player behavior that the NFL players should learn to imitate...if they know what's good for them.

    Didn't Mattingly and/or Jeter do the same thing, taking a handful of popcorn from a fan when chasing down a catch toward the stands?
