This hot dog vendor is the most important member of the Texas Rangers organization right now

Hot dogs and baseball. It does not get more American. Of all the great combos in history—Shaq and Kobe, peanut butter and jelly, lamb and tuna fish—hot dogs and baseball might be right damn near the top. At MLB stadiums, those things pretty much sell themselves.
