The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home.
The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin.

Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg.

Fair enough.
I apologize.
I should have also opened my reply with “You over-looked” instead of “you left out”.
How about next year?
Hopefully, by then MLB will have retired the number “21” so no other ball player may wear it.
Plus, they will pay tribute on his special day like they do for Robinson.
(All players were “42” on his day, April 15)
I want you to know at age 80 I have gleaned so much information I had no knowledge of by reading this website. It is amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. At age 81 this project keeps me learning! So much interesting information available today!
Dear Sirs-You left out “Roberto Clemente Day” which is celebrated each year in Pittsburgh to honor probably Latin America’s greatest baseball player. Called “The Great One” by his contemporaries, his importance to the Latin American community is of the same as was Jackie Robinson for the Black baseball players. Today, the Pirates (playing the New York Yankees) will have the numerals “21” (Clemente’s number) highlighted in right field (his position for 17 years as a Pirate) for the game as they do each year. Clemente’s contribution to baseball and his humanitarian off-the-field efforts have resulted in the “The Roberto Clemente award” given to a MLB player each year. Also, there is a major effort to have MLB permanently retire the number “21” as they did “42” to honor Robinson. Thank you for reading. Christy Stone, Cincinnati, Ohio.
