"Basically the 8th"

Possibly the greatest in-game fan interview in baseball history.

The location: Wrigley Field, where the Cubs are playing the Mets 

The subject: How is a "beer cup snake" constructed?

The interviewer: Steve Gelbs of the Mets cable network 

The interviewee: Jake, who evidently has unfilled an impressive number of beer cups.

You gotta like Jake's self assurance, composure, and his shout-out to start the interview.

Highlight:

Jake: "What is it now, 8th inning, ninth?

Steve: "7th". [It is bottom of the 7th; no outs]

Jake: "Basically the 8th, Steve".

Also, don't miss the Red Sox fan on the left.
