Thomas Arthur, originator of the Dodger Dog, has died. Ryan sent me this link to the L.A. Times article<\/a> a couple days ago. Dodger Dogs have been one of the pillars of Dodger history, up there with Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda. Everyone who visits Dodger Stadium has to have at least one. I remember going to games when I was a kid, arriving early for BP and enjoying a Dodger Dog, followed by a Carnation chocolate malt with those little wooden spoons. And then peanuts were had all through the game. Later on, other foods made their way into Dodger Stadium, and they never seemed quite right. Nachos, for instance. And when the franchises appeared, that was strange. It still seems weird seeing a Carls Jr. or Pizza Hut sign, or a TCBY cart in the stadium. And then there was the year that the Dodger Dogs were no longer grilled, and were only boiled. There was an uproar, and soon the grilled Dodger Dogs were back. I prefer mine with some onions and spicy mustard, and maybe a little ketchup as well. A while back, I bought a T-shirt at Dodger Stadium that had a big cartoony Dodger Dog character on it. The shirt is falling apart now, but I refuse to throw it away because, well, it’s a Dodger Dog t-shirt, for goodness-sakes!!!<\/p>\n
