In the summer of 1978 I was a vendor at Wrigley Field and Soldier Field in Chicago. Since it was entirely a commission job and I was too young to sell beer, the next best thing was selling hot dogs. Back then they were $1 and I made 20¢ with each sale. On a good day I might make $60 which was great money for a teenager.  I’ll never forget, however, how crappy the hot dogs were.
