There's nothing like crushing a cold one with the boys, and now Oscar Mayer is giving baseball fans a new way to sip their beer-- through a free hot dog straw.
There are tons of awesome things about baseball season, like grabbing a hot dog or yelling "hey batta batta!" But arguably the best part of going to a game is trying to catch foul balls.
