Watch the best hot dog race in Kauffman Stadium history
Fans at Kauffman Stadium were treated to an exciting competition on Sunday.
Yeah, sure, the Royals beat the Angels 4-3 in 10 innings on a walk-off hit by Kendrys Morales in a game that was televised by ESPN, but fans and media members were wound-up about something else:
Man, I hope they show the condiment race on TV. That was gold.
