Dave Roberts apparently likes to enjoy a cigar while watching people overindulge.
The Dodgers manager popped by a wing-eating competition at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Glendale, Arizona, on Wednesday night, and he was seen puffing on a stogie as he took in all the sights and sounds of engorgement.
In a video shot by a spectator, the World Series-winning skipper could be seen savoring some smoke as competitors shoveled chicken into their mouths.
At one point during the festivities, Roberts actually told the Dodgers’ social media team he thinks he’d fare pretty well in a wing-consuming showdown.
He added he’d thrive in a doughnut challenge as well.
Wednesday’s event has become a bit of a spring training tradition for the Dodgers — last season, several Los Angeles superstars, including Shohei Ohtani, made it out to catch the action.
This year, Roberts was joined by Evan Phillips, Miguel Rojas, Hyeseong Kim and Alex Call, and the guys seemed to have a blast — while insisting if they were in tilts to inhale the most sushi, ramen, hot dogs and nachos, they’d be stars.
