25th September, 2008 - 9:07 am
Philadelphia Inquirer - The Philadelphia bomb squad detonated three suspicious packages outside Citizens Bank Park Wednesday night that turned out to be hot dogs, according to Philadelphia Inquirer.

The hot dogs were left behind after a commercial shoot that involved the Phillie Phanatic.

"We just did what we thought was appropriate," said Mike Stiles, senior vice president of administration and operations. "We looked at it. And in this day and age, if you have a question, you call the police. The police came and they said, 'Yeah, this merits the bomb squad to take a look and take action.' They detonated it."

"It's important to let people know that although it was suspicious, it did not contain any explosive device, and we didn't get any bomb-scare notes or threats." [READ]
