Take the extra time to walk around to the kosher dog stands over by the "park at the park." You'll be glad you did when you're biting into the juicy, flavorful Hebrew National dog rather than the bland, salty boiled one. If you're on a budget, hit up the "Littlest Fan" shack after the 7th inning, where they'll sell you a kids' dog for just $1.
