Luke,
   that nobody has leapt upon your Q  (considering the elapsed time)
is nothing short of astonishing.
ask the "average bear" here in the PacNW about the constituent
ingredients in a "ballpark hotdog" & they'll simply advise you that the
aforementioned contains nothing other than "lips & assholes".(beefwise)
   however, considering the fact that i've personally consumed at least
one of these beauties during most ballgames attended ( here in Vancouver

at Nat Bailey Stadium, Triple-A, Pacific Coast League, around 70 games
per year ) during the last decade ... i feel i've the right to chirp.
(you are what you eat ...? geeeez)
....................................................................
A: the dog ingredients: ( i'll send remarks off-list )
B:  the bun:  hey, when in Rome ...
C:  les accoutrements: there are four (4) traditionals
     1: mustard, ONLY real USA mustard works (prefer "French's")
     2: onions, hey ... chopped to size preference & liberally applied
     3: relish, GREEN. slightly sweet, pickle relish.
     4: sauerkraut, well drained & liberally applied

D: OK, you've got you're basic ballparkdog. now what ...?
     HOT that puppy up!
     add pickled peppers, your favourites
     sliced jalapenos
     calvin's
     jim's finishing sauce
     call mom

E: last but not least ...
    as Clint Eastwood has said ....
    " nobody ... i mean nobody ... puts ketchup on a hotdog . "
    it's my fave Eastwood quote. it takes some time to download ...
