The hot dogs were tossed from the stadium's upper deck before the lower bowl began throwing food a short time later. MLB TEAMS EXPERIMENT WITH EXTENDED ALCOHOL SALES AS GAME TIME SHORTENS DUE TO PITCH CLOCK One Twitter user joked that they were witnessing the Phillies' "here come the pretzels moment." The joke is a reference to a "Simpson" episode in which a cartoon former New York Yankees pitcher Whitey Ford is hit with snacks that were made by the character Marge.
As more videos began to circulate on social media, it appears that some fans were also possibly throwing the hot dog wrappers.
