Major League baseball fans will be consuming lots of hot dogs and sausages as the regular session gets underway at ball parks across the country. National Hot Dog and Sausage Council President Eric Mittenthal says the consumption of hot dogs and sausages are likely to remain steady with last year.

He says while Dodger fans eat the most hot dogs and are projected to consume 3 million this year, Minnesota Twins fans prefer sausages over hot dogs.

Mittenthal says there are many benefits from eating hot dogs and sausages.

Mittenthal says the newest creation at Major League ball parks this year is in Texas where Rangers fans will get to eat the Dilly Dog, a dill pickle that is cored out and stuffed with an angus jumbo dog, that’s been battered and fried to a golden brown.
