The last regional dog fight pitted the New York teams against each other for a very close shootout. Today, we move the match to the west coast where the Dodgers and Angels mix it up for the hot dog/baseball experience crown of Los Angeles. It is kind of like the fight in New York, only with better weather.
Unlike New York, both of the LA teams sport older stadiums, but it is the hot dog that gives the Dodgers the overall win. Both ballparks scored 21 while the Dodgers were saved by the Dodger Dog that score 2 points better than its competitor, the Angel Dog. The Dodgers could have blown the Angels away. I personally feel a ballgame in Dodger Stadium’s blue edifice is much more pleasant than its counterpart in Anaheim. The problem is the Dodgers think you should pay for that edge, and pay a lot. The Angles, while by no means cheap, are more reasonable.
The deciding factor was the Dodger Dog’s “It Factor.” While it doesn’t necessarily taste any better than the Angel Dog, it has a reputation so well known that it has been in movies and emulated by other ballparks. Love it or hate it, the Dodger Dog has a gleaming star on the Hot Dog Walk of Fame.

I will say this in the Angels defense, they have the Rally Monkey. And any team that has a monkey is worth seeing.
