Today's baseball a banquet with a little sport thrown in

Oh, to be in the stands for some Los Angeles Dodgers baseball; not for the game, but for the opportunity to order the new Victory Knot pretzel, two pounds of twisted dough baked until it's chewy and served with buckets of dipping sauce. Oh, you think this isn't a healthy choice? Well, baseball friend, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

The world's most deliberate game (chess perhaps excepted) provides plenty of time for chowing down, and clubs are glad to meet that demand. For example, the Toledo Mud Hens this year began selling a new megasundae, 15 scoops of ice cream (2,325 calories) in a souvenir helmet for a mere $25.
