The Chicago Dogs: Not Your Average Hot Dog
Who Let the Dogs Out? (Onto the Baseball Field)
You might be thinking, "Wait, what? Baseball-playing dogs? That's fetch!" But hold your horses, sports fan. We're not talking about four-legged athletes here. We're talking about the Chicago Dogs.
Now, if you're picturing a team of corgis chasing ground balls, you're in for a treat. Unfortunately, you're also wrong. The Chicago Dogs are actually a human baseball team. Yes, you read that right. A group of people decided that the best way to honor Chicago's iconic hot dog was to name themselves after it. And, you know what? It’s a pretty genius marketing move.
What League Do These Canine-Inspired Ballplayers Play In?
So, you're probably wondering, "What league do these hot dog-loving humans play in?" Well, I'm glad you asked. The Chicago Dogs are part of the American Association of Professional Baseball. It's an independent league, which means they're not affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB). Think of it as the minor leagues' edgier, more independent cousin.
