Reply #52: Other than the fact that they make HORRIBLE food.

Tom Monaghan is a total freak. When he owned the Detroit Tigers he tried to ban beer at Tiger Stadium. Shit. That's like banning "Red Hots" there.

A Red Hot is a hot dog served with mustard and onion. There was a time when the Red Hot vendors would walk the stands throughout the game. If you asked them for ketchup, or--horrors!!!-- relish, they'd yell at you and inform you that that stuff is available only at the concession booth behind the stands. Back in the day, there was not a self-respecting Tiger fan who'd want to make the trip behind the stands just to get whimpy ketchup or relish. A hot dog is a hot dog, but a Red Hot... Now you're really talkin'. Wash it down with a cold Stroh's.

Monaghan probably eats his hot dogs with ketchup and relish.
