At least on Tuesday night, they had a cheap way to eat their sorrows away.
The Blue Jays were selling 77-cent hot dogs for the second game of their series with the Dodgers. That's because it was April 7, the date on which the Blue Jays played their first-ever game as a franchise, and the year they played that first game was 1977.
So there you have it, 77-cent hot dogs for 1977.
And Toronto fans didn't hold back.
The ballclub announced that through the seventh inning, fans had downed 100,204 hot dogs.
The Blue Jays, who are selling 77-cent hot dogs in honor of their inaugural season (1977), have sold 100,204 hot dogs through the seventh inning tonight.

That's quite the specific number, but evidently they've got the systems in place to keep very close track of who's eating those hot dogs.
They're certainly a bargain at that cost for the fans, who are surely used to being gouged for stadium concessions at professional sporting events but on this night got to eat cheap.
The Blue Jays at least lost by single digits to the Dodgers in this one rather than by the double digits of Monday night.
Toronto will hope to turn things around on the field soon. At least they gave fans some hot dogs for nearly free to hopefully make them feel a little bit better.
