Rinaldi Sausages Extends Hot Dog Partnership with Golden Grizzlies Baseball Team
Rinaldi Sausages, a fourth‑generation family business, recently announced a sponsorship deal with the Golden Grizzlies baseball squad, treating fans to complimentary hot dogs at every weekend home game. Longtime fan Ann Knight says she always orders her hot dog flat‑top grilled with a generous drizzle of mustard, a simple pleasure that has become a ritual for many attendees. During a cold evening matchup against the Wright State Raiders, pitcher Cam Allen delivered a standout performance, and the crowd’s appetite was satisfied by the distinctive Rinaldi sausage that has come to define the ballpark’s snack culture. Across the country, ballparks boast signature franks — New York’s long dogs, Seattle’s all‑white slaw dogs — but the Rinaldi offering brings a nostalgic twist that resonates with both veterans and newcomers. Both the Golden Grizzlies organization and Rinaldi Sausages have expressed enthusiasm for extending the partnership into the next season, with talks already underway about making the Rinaldi sausage the official “baseball dog” of Rochester Hills.
