Ball Park is planning to create a special set of baseball trading cards to honor hot dog vendors as the "true MVPs." For this initiative, Ball Park recently put out a call for baseball fans to nominate their favorite hot dog vendors on social media so that the choices can be whittled down before the cards get printed later this fall—just in time for the playoff season.
To participate, fans are being encouraged to tag their #HotDogHeroes as part of the search for the best hot dog vendors that the country has to offer. In all, Ball Park aims to have a list of about 30 hot dog vendors, each of which will represent the baseball market. These collectible trading cards have the potential to appeal to sports fans and foodies alike.
