The Sun Sentinel reports that Miami Marlins pitcher A. J. Ramos attempted the Iron Man omelet challenge at the Broken Yolk Cafe after on the team's recent day off in San Diego.

She was pretty good looking, too. I'd hate to take her on a date. She might eat more than me". update Jessica also finished the omelet challenge.
