Ketchup, Mustard and Relish: Is the fix in at the Royals’ Hot Dog Derby?

There’s a conspiracy against mustard. There has to be. Steve Physioc is certain of it.

“I just think there’s been some political maneuvering away from Mustard,” the Royals broadcaster says.

The Teenie Weenie Hot Dog Race is held during every Sunday home game at Kaufmann Stadium. And on this particular day, Ketchup extends its lead on the pack in the Hot Dog Derby standings, while Mustard falls flat on its face in front of 36,450 fans.

The outcome prompts a 173-word rant (tongue somewhat firmly planted in cheek) from Physioc about the Royals rigging the race.
