The Bronx faithful were treated to a W on the field - and to some, what one fan called a piece of legendary "American ingenuity" off it.

Fellow supporters seated near the man at Yankees Stadium were in awe as he brazenly took a plastic straw and used it to create a hole in the center of his snack.

He didn't want to waste a bit of the delicious sausage though, SUCKING the meat out of the straw as he went.

But instead of filling up the hollowed-out sausage with relish or sauce, he stunned ballpark onlookers by plonking it into his glass of beer.

He then proceeded to enjoy a big swig from his ice-cool beverage - using the sausage as a straw and tossing the real one aside.

The footage quickly went viral on social media, with MLB fans either completely revolted or praising the fan for his new invention.

One wrote: "All of this is disgusting BUT the sucking the meat out of the straw is some of the nastiest s*** I ever seen."

While another joked: "Yes officer, [arrest] that man right there."

And another added: "I wish there was a way to go back in time and not watch this.";

Others were more sympathetic, saying: "The hot dog beer straw man is the boldest example of American ingenuity since Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity."

While another said: "I don’t like beer but through a hot dog straw it might be doable."

The Yankees fought to a 4-2 win over their crosstown rivals in a tense Subway Series clash in the Bronx.

It was their first back-to-back win since early July after a recent slump.

The teams meet again on Tuesday night with the Yankees chasing a third-straight victory for the first time since beating the Royals last month.
