Astros affiliate offering a chance to meet Keuchel if you finish a ridiculous burger
Would you like to meet Houston Astros World Series hero Dallas Keuchel?
Of course you would! So go grab your knife and fork, and ... maybe unbuckle your belt, too. You'll need the room.
The Corpus Christi Hooks, Double-A affiliate of the Astros, unveiled a gigantic and possibly ridiculous hamburger earlier this week in ode to the 2015 the Cy Young Award winner. Known as the "Dallas Keuchel Smoke Stack 60" (Keuchel's uniform number), the burger costs $60, weighs in at a full 6.0 pounds, and contains a whole lot of ingredients. Eating it may get a little messy.

On Sunday, the Hooks unveiled the twist in the sandwich promotion. If someone out there can finish the entire Smoke Stack 60 sandwich in 60 minutes, they'll be rewarded with tickets to a future Astros game and the chance to meet Keuchel, among other prizes.

If completed, you'll be recognized on-field, receive an autographed Dallas Keuchel baseball and get tickets to a select Astros game to meet Dallas Keuchel! Are you up for the challenge? pic.twitter.com/8uaeKvi5SX
That's a pretty tall order. Even Bottomless Pete might have some trouble polishing this one off.
Still, people have been known to gain strength when faced with adversity. And for some lucky person out there, the chance to be congratulated by Dallas Keuchel for eating an abnormally gigantic sandwich that bears his name could be just the motivation that's needed.
