The Fenway Frank and Dodger Dog need to make some room because there is a new champion coming this season.
The "Champion Dog" at Rangers Ballpark measures nearly two feet long and weighs a pound, before any toppings are added. The all-beef frank includes a mountain of shredded cheese, chili and sautéed onions. The meal comes with a pile of fries and is designed for four people. At $26, it has a price tag to match too.
Shawn Mattox, Sportservice general manager, which handles concessions for the park, was looking for an item that had the "wow" factor.
"We just thought a one-pound hot dog would be a fun thing to do, more so for the look," he said. "Hopefully people will enjoy it. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the hot dogs!"

How Bout Them Dawgs?
So gay
Has Moochelle, the self appointed Health Czar, sent in her stormtroopers yet? Soon to be replaced with the Tofu Dog..
I think I’m behind the times.
So now it’s called “Rangers Ballpark”???
At first it was “The Ballpark in Arlington”, then it was “Ameriquest Field”. Did Ameriquest give up naming rights? What happened?
But if Ameriquest gave up naming rights, why didn’t the Rangers get another corporate sponsor?
Maybe I’m behind the times, but so many stadiums change names anymore.
It just ain’t the same without Larry....
(Being AL Champion does not really count...)
Fenway Frank? Ick...who knows where that’s been?
LOL.. Go TWinkies!!
The problem is, like the Rangers, you might choke on them.
Lili Von Shtupp: Would you like another schnitzengruben?
Bart: No, thank you. Fifteen is my limit on schnitzengruben.
Lili Von Shtupp: Well, then how about a little...
[whispers in his ear]
Bart: Baby, please! I am not from Havana.
Lili Von Shtupp: Will I... see you again?
Bart: Well, it all depends on how much vitamin E I can get my hands on.
Actually, it was called “Bad Credit, OK!” Park. But seriously, Ameriquest’s parent company was losing money and slashing staff, and I think this was part of the cost cutting.
The Fenway Frank ceased being called the Fenway Frank two years ago when it was called the Barney Frank after the former member of Congress swallowed one whole at a game.
Twenty six bucks a pound?
For a hot dog?
Good luck selling any.

Remember, this is a venue that has no problem selling $10 16-oz beers (assuming it is like most of the stadiums I have been to).
LOL. I hope that's not Kal Penn, on the far right, looking wisftully as Obama stuffs his mouth.
