1. You never know when the cameras will find you while attending a sporting event.

One man learned this lesson the hard way when he made it to TV during Wednesday's Cardinals-White Sox game because, unbeknownst to him, he had a nice slather of mustard on his cheek during $1 hot dog night.

What made this incident great was that the gentleman even received a phone call from someone to let him know he had mustard on his face. However, the guy wiped his lips, not his cheek, and the mustard remained in place until his wife finally helped him out in what was a very sweet moment.

Obviously, we especially love this clip because it gives us a chance to reference Seinfeld.

UPDATE: The Mustard Man is having fun with his newfound fame:
