Did you ever think that being a vendor at a baseball game was easy and that you could do it? Well, it might not be as easy as you think. With no training or experience, Harry Hurt III went to Shea looking to sell some dogs, make some money, and take in a game. He joined the ranks of other part-time vendors that include teenagers, principals, accountants, bus drivers and retirees. What followed was an amusing lesson for Hurt (the article's accompanying video is also worth a watch). In fact, bun-splitting proved to be only one of many unexpected challenges for me. Hot-dog vendors must balance their bins on the tops of their caps when they parade through the stands. My fully loaded bin weighed 40 pounds, but it felt heavier than Sisyphus's rock. With each step, I feared that I was going to trip and fall, igniting a Sterno-fueled trial by fire in which I perished amid sizzling meat, flaming dough and melting plastic.
