Astros fans This is pretty old and I had already heard the story, but I thought I'd share it with you guys if you'd never heard about it. Lance Berkman rules.
The Cubs may want to put up a "Please Don't Feed the Millionaires" sign at the bleacher entrance.
During Sunday's game, fans in the left-field bleachers waved Twinkies at Houston's Lance Berkman, a not-so-subtle reference to his "relaxed fit" body type.
During a pitching change in the seventh, the good-natured Berkman gestured to fans to throw a couple Twinkies into his outstretched mitt. After they complied, Berkman ate one to a loud ovation, then stuffed the other in his back pocket.
The next inning, Berkman hit a two-run homer to seal the Astros' 9-3 win. Chants of "Twinkie Power" rang out when he took the field in the eighth.
Did fans hurt the Cubs by providing Berkman with a late-inning sugar boost?
