We are back with one of our fan-favorite episodes in honor of baseball season! This week, Sportly takes you on a delicious deep dive into the surprising history of America's most iconic ballpark snack —the hot dog. From its German immigrant roots to its rise as the ultimate stadium food, discover how this simple street food became synonymous with Major League Baseball. This episode explores its evolution through economic hardship, celebrity endorsements (yes, Babe Ruth!), wild stadium variations like the Texas Rangers' BoomStick and Arizona’s churro dog, and the cultural power of tailgating. Whether you are a foodie, a baseball fanatic, or just curious about how food shapes fandom, this episode is your ultimate guide to the legendary ballpark hot dog. Come back next week for a brand new Sportly episode about the rise of baseball in Japan!
