Drillers' BOOMTown Coney is a grand slam, wins Minors' Golden Bobblehead Award

Minor League Baseball honored the Tulsa Drillers on Wednesday with a Golden Bobblehead Award for having the minors' most unique concessions item.

This season, the Drillers launched the BOOMTown Coney, a 1-pound, 2-foot Texas Chili Co.

hot dog paired with three pounds of thick cut fries that fans can enjoy plain or loaded with one pound of chili, onions and shredded cheese.

The thanks for this promotion must go to our staff and our food service staff as weve tried to win another Golden Bobblehead Award for a lot of years, said Drillers president and general manager Mike Melega.

Who thought all we had to do is take a foot-long, 2-pound hot dog with another pound of chili and three pounds of French fries? We had a lot of fun with it and were glad our fans enjoyed all season long.

The concept was originally for a family to enjoy a fun ballpark meal together, but it turned into a ballpark challenge to eat the BOOMTown Coney and fries solo.
