Baseball Fans Are Grossed Out by MLB Team's 7-Inch 'Bat Flip' Burger
The Atlanta Braves introduced a brand-new 'Bat Flip Burger,' but it's not exactly winning over some baseball fans.
Every year, Major League Baseball teams get crafty and creative by offering new ballpark snacks. This includes the 'Chicken Bucket' introduced by the New York Yankees, which looks like chicken drumsticks, but is actually a dessert.
So, what's new on the menu at Truist Park? The Braves are offering 'The Bat Flip' burger that features two pounds worth of beef patties, a fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, short rib and pork belly.
You better grab extra napkins and cutlery if you plan to try it, though, because it measures seven inches in height:

"You'll be dead after eating it, but I expect most will enjoy the ride," one fan said.
"Should not be allowed to eat this in stands if people sitting next to you," a user wrote.
"Who eats like this?" a fan asked.
"Looks nasty," another commented.
"The Braves might’ve gone TOO far with this one," a fan said.
"You know some things just don't need to be available at a baseball game ????♀️," a user added.
Get 'em while they're hot, folks.

Atlanta's seven-year playoff streak ended in 2025, as the club finished 76-86. The team was derailed by injuries, with Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, Austin Riley and Sean Murphy all missing significant time.
The Braves haven't been able to build upon their 2021 World Series triumph, losing to the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2022 and 2023 NLDS and to the San Diego Padres in the 2024 NLWCS.
But the Braves are off to a solid start, winning seven of their first 12 games. The NL East division looks to be wide-open once again, so the path is there for Atlanta to re-emerge as the team to beat.
