ballpark frank

Bleacher seat snack

A ballpark frank is a hot dog sold at baseball stadiums—typically a large beef or pork frankfurter served in a steamed bun with mustard, ketchup, relish, or other toppings.

The term evokes American baseball tradition, where hot dogs have been stadium fare since the early 1900s: Nothing beats a ballpark frank and a cold beer at the game.
