you cant have any hot dog team, w/o jim edmonds being on it. he's the worst hot dog ever.

he would make easy catches, turn into run into wall, fall, get up, act like you caught it at wall, when you were at a light jog, caught it 10 feet from wall, and then went into dramatics.

Yogi was no hot dog player. He was all serious while playing. The media just loved him

But how about Satchel Paige?

In my generation I'd say Jose Lima would be the top of my list.

When he hit his 100th career HR he ran the bases backwards, facing backwards. You’ve probably never seen that before. He was quite the head case.

Seems like we’re bulking “loose cannons” together with hot dogs… in that case, I’m not sure anyone could compare to Rube Waddell.

Darryl Strawberry for sure. He literally had to duct tape it to his leg

Jeffrey "One Flap Down" Leonard
and
One Tough Dominican.....you have to be a hot dog when you choose your own nickname

I didn't know much about Piersall until 1958. He was playing at Comiskey Park against the White Sox and started to "do the twist" during the game.
The guy was a nut case but he was entertaining. People in Chicago loved it.
Piersall was a riot when he teamed with Harry Caray in the booth in the 1970's.

How could we leave off Yasiel Puig?

Babe Ruth had quite a history with hotdogs, beer and women.

Whether or not he called his shot in the 1932 Series he sure gave the Cubs bench a bunch of (bleep).

Ryne Duren, Yankee reliever, who could really throw hard, wore thick glasses and made a practice of throwing his first warmup pitch to the screen.
Vic Power, first baseman, Indians, who was the fanciest fielder at that position of his day.
Willie "Say Hey Kid" Mays, with the basket catch, amazing baserunning and awesome extra-base hitting.
No-Hit Bo Belinsky and Mamie Van Doren, 'nuff said.
