There’s nothing better than going to a baseball game and cheering on your favorite team – or, if you’re like us, the best part is always the food. You can get almost every food imaginable at a baseball game, which we’re SO thankful for, but it always seems wrong to pass up on having a hot dog at a game. Well, it turns out those ball park hot dogs aren’t always fresh or prepared in the cleanliest way as we’d hope...

A former concession stand employee revealed that the ball park staple food is served after sitting in hot dog water for DAYS. He even said that management wouldn’t allow them to throw them out after two full days. Gross!
“I used to work in a baseball park concession stand. The short answer is not to order anything, but if you absolutely have to buy something, don’t buy the hot dogs,” the former employee said, according to Huffington Post. “Do not. Buy. The Hot Dogs.”

“They made it out of the package okay - and might even have been edible after we finished grilling them - and then they went into the water. We kept three pans of water at the back of the grill that held the hot dogs,” the former employee explained. “Any hot dogs left at the end of the day went back into the fridge, and came out again the next day. Me and the other cook put our feet down on throwing out the water and old hotdogs after two full days, but the management didn’t want to let us.”
Yikes! That is disgusting. Looks like we'll be sticking to the peanuts and Cracker Jack's next time we're at the ball park!
