The eight most overrated things in L.A. sports

Overpriced, overcooked, overrated. When the best food all ballparks offered was a hot dog, then sure, Dodger Dogs were at the top of the list. But not now. Be honest: You don't get Dodger Dogs because of their incredible flavor, you get them because it's a tradition.

Sports Now editor Houston Mitchell gives his picks for the most overrated items in local sports.

No. 5: The Los Angeles Marathon

What’s worse than getting up early on a Sunday morning and running for 26.2 miles? Expecting anyone to watch it on TV.  (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

No. 3: Arte Moreno

The Angels owner has won a grand total of zero World Series titles and alienated much of his O.C. fan base by changing the name of the team to the Los Angeles Angels. You know you are overrated when many fans name “He lowered the price of beer” as your top accomplishment.  (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
