Anything can happen in baseball. On Easter Sunday, one of those things did.
As the Chicago Cubs hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field, a seagull hit the jackpot, grabbing itself a full hot dog as it cruised across the stadium.
Getty photographer Griffin Quinn also hit the jackpot, as he captured a brilliant image of the bird, with the dog, in flight.
This Chicago seagull just created a BEAUTIFUL moment in baseball 🥹

I regret to inform everyone the seagull told me he puts ketchup on hot dogs and has now been canceled by the hot dog weirdos. https://t.co/uA6OOJGl5g

Nothing better than enjoying a hot dog at Wrigley Field, even if you are a seagull. https://t.co/KBGZtAEbcp
