Pahigian and O'Connell also offer their choices for the top hot dogs in the majors:
1. Miller's Dog
McAfee Coliseum, Oakland
So juicy and snappy you'll swear it has natural casing.

2. The Fenway Frank
Fenway Park, Boston
A supple dog that always leaves you wanting one more.

3. Nathan's Hot Dog
Yankee Stadium, New York
Hate the Yankees, love their hot dog.
4. Hebrew National Dog
Safeco Field, Seattle
Good enough for the Rabbi, good enough for us.
5. Met Jumbo Dog
The Metrodome, Minneapolis
The biggest, baddest dog in MLB makes arena-ball almost tolerable.
6. Aaron's Hot Dog
Shea Stadium, New York
Lastings Milledge isn't the only hot dog making headlines in Queens these days.
7. The Hunter's Dog
New Busch Stadium, St. Louis
Spicy, juicy, and firm. This Hunter's dog was so good we expected it to roll over in its bun.
8. Grilled Blue Jay Dog
Rogers Center, Toronto
An all-beef frank slit several times during grilling and served on a poppy seed roll. And once you factor in the exchange rate, it only costs 40 cents.
9. Schweigert Hot Dog
Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City
Not sure if we got the spelling right, but we know good pork by-product when we taste it.

10. Hot Dog Heaven
Turner Field, Atlanta
Of the 21 different dogs served at "The Ted," our favorite is the Bison Dog. Our pal Jane prefers the Jumbo Georgia Dog... at least she used to.
Note: The Dodger Dog receives an abundance of press -- usually from points west -- hailing it as the greatest ballpark dog in the majors. We've found it to be the most controversial food item in the big leagues, right after Rocky Mountain Oysters in Denver. Most stands in Dodger Stadium sell their dogs boiled, not grilled -- a sin that confines this City of Angels' weenie to the lower circles of ballpark food hell. To be fair to the legions of Dodger Dogs' faithful we also sampled a grilled Dodger Dog and found it bland, far too skinny, and pre-wrapped. That's strike four, by our count.
