A Mets fan earned cult hero status Tuesday night when he downed nine hot dogs and nine beers during a $1 hot dog night — before being removed by security for allegedly “inciting a riot.”
The fan apparently turned heads during the Mets’ 4-2 home win over the Cubs when he tallied his beer and hot dog consumption on a shirt that humorously read “Bad Day to be a Glizzy.”
And toward the end of the game, things got a little out of hand when the fan’s fellow Mets supporters started throwing hot dogs at him — apparently at his request — causing security to remove him from Citi Field.
Mets fan account The 7 Line wrote to X afterward that the fan “left without incident” and that the hot dog hero was not charged with any crime.
“The story goes…in the 9th inning everyone started throwing their extra dogs at him,” the story goes wrote. ‘The police had to throw him away so everyone else would stop. He didn’t get kicked out because he was having a good time…’

He was later ejected from the game when fans started throwing their hot dogs at him
Another fan added“I just met him on the train…he said the NYPD should kick him out for ‘inciting a riot.’ But the police apparently laughed, all in good fun. He told people to throw their hot dogs at him.”
After the game, another fan apparently met the hot dog hero on the subway and took a photo of him.
‘Rided back to town with this legend, got the whole story,’ the fan wrote.
“He and his girlfriend came from Westchester to have fun. Welder, worker, just wants to drink beer and eat glizzies.’

According to the New York PostAccording to the Mets promotion, fans were limited to four hot dogs per transaction.
However, the fan clearly found a way around that and turned himself into a cult figure in the process.
