↵1. If you string together all the hot dogs sold in one season at baseball games, you could walk a hot-dog tightrope from Boston to San Francisco. This is useful information.
↵2. In five ballparks, it’s five bucks for a hot dog. Two of those ballparks are in L.A. and New York. I get it. Overhead. One’s in Toronto. I get it. Health care for all. The other two are in Florida.
↵Wait, what? At least now the Rays’ and Marlins’ attendance figures are starting to make a lot more sense.
