"The San Francisco Giants have one of Major League Baseball's coolest ballparks and here's one reason why: McCovey Cove. That's a small inlet beyond the right field fence where dozens of kayakers and boaters gather to hang out, have parties and, if they're lucky, even snag a homerun ball during games. \nFor last night's Sunday Night Baseball tilt between the Giants and Dodgers, ESPN decided to reward all those loyal, sea-faring and ticketless fans. How? By equipping pro kayaker London Van Der Kamp with a whole bunch of hot dogs that he paddled around and gave out for free. \nPredictably, the stunt sparked a bunch of Twitter chatter. Here are some photos: \n1. Van Der Kamp's rig was equipped with a box full of hot dogs, condiments and an ESPN umbrella:\n\nThe #HotDogKayak is REAL, and it\u2019s handing out free hot dogs in McCovey Cove tonight on @espn Sunday Night Baseball. twitter.com/MLB/status/331\u2026\n\u2014 MLB (@MLB) May 5, 2013\n\n2.
