put a little basket on the back for twinkies, ho-ho's and such and he could park it outside the dugout and use that sucker for the commute to and from 1st base.

He'd run out of snacks if the basket were little.  That's a long commute.

Well, the basket would just supplement/back up all the snacks he has strapped to himself already obviously.

And the clubhouse boy could re-stock it between innings.

I imagine that there's also a weight limit.

I wouldn't let Berkman (or even Lee) anywhere near one.  I look at that thing and get a flashback memory of Alou crippling himself falling off the treadmill.

It happened right after he finished helping Jeff Kent wash his monster truck.
