The Chickle is either a genius or disgusting way to ruin a pickle

Is this a sandwich?

Baseball season is here, which means minor league baseball teams are firing up the weird food trends in an attempt to get you into the stands.

Today in weird baseball food, The Fresno Grizzlies, a AAA affiliate of the Houston Astros, introduce the Chickle, which is basically a pickle filed with Nashville hot chicken.

The Chickle will be offered on Wednesday and Thursday night during the last two of a four game stint against the Nashville Sounds, but we suppose anyone could easily recreate this concoction with the right ingredients.

While pickles are a welcome addition to many sandwiches, this begs the question, is this a sandwich? I suppose it all depends on where you stand on the sandwich alignment chart.

Before you decide, here's what the Chickle actually looks like.
