Bill Bucker’s fielding error. Chris Webber’s timeout. Jackie Smith’s drop in the end zone. Marcus Williams missed tackle.

Those are among sports’ biggest blunders, but we can add one more to the list: Relish’s face-plant at the finish line at the Royals’ hot-dog race on Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.

OK, that’s hyperbole, of course. But the hog-dog race did have a fun finish.

The race featured members of the Kansas City media: Hartzell of The Buzz (96.5 FM) was in the Relish suit and Nate Bukaty of WHB (810 AM) was in the Mustard suit.
