With Major League Baseball shut down, every corner of the sport has been affected—players, stadium workers, giant flags. And, of course, peanuts and hot dogs.
In an MLB season, fans typically consume somewhere around 18 million hot dogs and 4 to 7 million bags of peanuts. (There are millions more consumed in the minors and indy ball, but those totals are not tracked as diligently.) The food items are as much a part of the cultural presence of the sport as is anything that happens on the field. Unsurprisingly, in a world without baseball, both industries have seen shifts.
