Blue Jays Fans Celebrate with Hot Dogs Despite Loss

During the Blue Jays’ 4-1 defeat to the Dodgers on Tuesday night, fans indulged in an astonishing number of hot dogs.

Marking their first season in 1977, the team offered hot dogs for just 77 cents, leading to a wild night where over 100,000 hot dogs were enjoyed throughout the game.

The final count? A staggering 100,204. There were a couple of slightly different reports—one claimed 100,202 hot dogs consumed, as noted by Bill Shaikin from the Los Angeles Times and another source.

Now, Tuesdays are typically known for being Looney Dog Night, with hot dogs priced at $1. This particular game, however, was extra special because of the 77-cent promotion.

According to the Blue Jays’ website, “By popular demand, Looney Dogs Night presented by Schneider’s will return to Rogers Center for every Tuesday home game during the 2026 season.” The announcement goes on to encourage fans to take advantage of the $1 hot dog deal available throughout the ballpark.

Fans have shown a strong affinity for these Looney Dogs. In 2025, they set a record, consuming 826,308 hot dogs, surpassing the previous year’s count of 727,819.

It’s worth mentioning that Tuesday’s matchup was part of a three-game series between the Blue Jays and the Dodgers—a rematch of last year’s World Series.

Unfortunately for the Jays, they are currently on a six-game losing streak, which brings their season record to 4 wins and 7 losses.

On the pitching side, Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw six solid innings, giving up five hits and just one run, while striking out six batters.

In terms of the game’s highlights, Shohei Ohtani kicked things off with a hit that scored the first run in the third inning, followed shortly by Will Smith adding another run in the same inning. Alex Freeland and Kyle Tucker added RBIs in the fifth and ninth innings respectively, while George Springer managed to get the Blue Jays on the board with their only RBI in the sixth.

As a side note, Toronto’s manager, John Schneider, got ejected after arguing a balk call, which added to the drama of the game.
