The economy might be lukewarm, but America’s love affair with hot dogs is red-hot. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council’s annual survey predicts ballparks around the country will serve 21,378,064 hot dogs this season, enough to round the bases 29,691 times. If laid end-to-end, the dogs would stretch from Cooperstown, N.Y., to Coors Field, with enough left over to give a hot dog to every fan at every Rockies’ home game for the 2010 season. The survey did not reveal how many Heimlich maneuvers would be administered during the consumption of the hot dogs.
