More than 27.5 million hot dogs will be consumed by baseball fans this season while cheering their team in the stands, according to the annual consumption survey conducted by the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Laid end-to-end, that's almost enough hot dogs to stretch from Citizens Bank Park in Philly to Edison Field in Los Angeles, Calif.

Darned naming rights...where in the world is "Citizens Bank Park"? Or "Edison Field"?
Citizens Bank Park is in Philly. Edison Field is in Anaheim. But that's hardly the point. The point is I had to look them up. Another case of brand overload.
