College baseball player enjoys unusual snack while on third base

No one would be surprised to see a baseball player dig into his pocket while on base and pull out a few sunflower seeds. They are, after all, a ballplayer's favorite snack. But the snack Buddy Reed of the University of Florida pulled out of his pocket Wednesday night might have caused a double take.

Reed was standing on third base during Florida's SEC Tournament game against LSU, when he dug out a bag of Sour Patch Kids. Never seen that one before.

Perhaps it was a wise strategy by Reed. His team's game against LSU last until 1:48 a.m. local time in Alabama, then they were back at it playing their next game Thursday at 12:55 p.m. local time.

Hope Buddy brought enough Sour Patch Kids to share with the team. They might all need a pick-me-up.
