Why settle for a simple heart attack when you can upgrade to a triple bypass? That must be the line of thinking at Miller Park, where they are adding a new delicacy. From the AP (our bold): The Milwaukee Brewers say Racing Sausage kabobs will be added to the offerings at Miller Park after a Sauk City fan won the create-a-concession contest on Wednesday.

Courtney Ring's creation was the winning entry out of more than 1,300 submissions. She'll get four opening day tickets, a chance to throw out a first pitch during the upcoming season and watch Brewers take batting practice on the field.

The kabobs won with 37% of the online vote.

The Brewers also say Chris Stoa's idea of poutine with cheese curds will also be added after receiving nearly 24% of the vote. The Brewers say the response to the idea was phenomenal and that they plan to hold the contest again next year.

Yes, that's French fries with gravy and cheese curds. As someone who consumed a bacon explosion over the weekend, we might not be in a position to judge. But still ... do you really want to kill all your fans right after acquiring Zack Greinke?
