New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger has sworn off chicken wings for five years following his recent bout with food poisoning.

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger is taking a hardline stance against wings. The two-time All-Star joked on Wednesday that he "will not eat wings for five years" due to a recent bout of food poisoning.

“I will not eat wings for five years,” Bellinger told reporters on Wednesday, a day after he was scratched from the lineup with a suspected case of food poisoning. Bellinger said he had chicken wings at the team’s hotel in the Motor City while watching the NCAA men’s basketball championship game on Monday night and had an adverse reaction.
