Joliet Slammers get boost from Bill Murray in attempt to set hot dog drop record
Wrapped hot dogs dropped from the sky onto the field as the Joliet Slammers took a swing at a Wiener Drop world record this week.
A total of 2,600 hot dogs were dropped Tuesday by helicopter, leaving players and employees to scoop them up and share them with the crowd.
The effort got a star boost from actor/comedian Bill Murray, a team co-owner who helped distribute the dogs to fans.
