From Wikipedia:

During the 1980s, a variation of the Chicago-style hot dog called the Vance Law Dog was sold at Wrigley Field. It featured a traditional Chicago-style hot dog topped with cole slaw and ketchup. Some fans incorrectly referred to the dog as ‘The Vance Slaw Dog’ because of the inclusion of cole slaw. The dog was a personal favorite of the late broadcasting legend Harry Caray.

Typically, I like to have a baseball card physically in the Nerd Archive before posting it on this site. However, while doing some research for a post on Vance Law, I ran across this card through a Google image search. Needless to say, I couldn’t pass it up:

Mr. Law played all 25 innings of the longest game in American League hisory (May 8/9, 1984 vs. Milwaukee). He is also the son of the 1960 Cy Young Award winner Vern Law (who is credited with the saying “a winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.”) Stay tuned in future posts for more Vance Law nerd cards.
