Big Hot Dog and Opening Day of Baseball

Hi. It's me, the Scoreboard Gourmet. I've been on hiatus, as you have undoubtedly noticed. But now baseball is almost back for real (read: I did not go to Spring Training this year), and a Big Hot Dog arrived in my inbox.

Let's go there first: The Big Hot Dog, made by Gorilla Tango Novelty Meats, is 16" long and 4" in diameter. It's a Chicago-born veal, beef, pork combo that weights 7 lbs. Wow. Until April 30th, 2011, you can buy one for $69.95 ($20 off) -and- $10 goes to Japan via the Red Cross. Anyone who brings one into a game must contact ScoreboardGourmet asap, with photos. 

Second: Another email arrived today too: Your 2011 Ticket License Plan has been shipped! Finally. Yea. Opening Day is Thursday, March 31, 2011. Schedule:
