Weird Holidays for July? Yep we have them!

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word "July"? For many it's Baseball & Hot Dogs! "The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is played in the middle of July on a Tuesday. The days surrounded the All-Star Game, Monday and Wednesday are the only days in a calendar year where there are no Major Sport games being played." Now what the favorite food ate at a baseball game?
