according to one story, the use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage was coined by the newspaper cartoonist thomas aloysius "tad" dorgan around 1900 in a cartoon recording the sale of hot dogs during a new york giants baseball game at the polo grounds. however, dorgan's earliest usage of "hot dog" was not in reference to a baseball game at the polo grounds, but to a bicycle race at madison square garden, in "the new york evening journal" december 12, 1906, by which time the term "hot dog" in reference to sausage was already in use. in addition, no copy of the apocryphal cartoon has ever been found.
