Top O' The Order: DON'T buy me some peanuts and Cracker JackBy 'Duk
5 quick baseball links to start your day ...
1. If you're allergic to peanuts — and my sympathies for that tragic misfortune, if you are — Seattle's Safeco Field will be the place to be on Aug. 5 and Sept. 9. The stadium staff there is planning to make two sections "peanut-controlled" zones, cleaning each before the game and banning the sale of peanuts at nearby concession stands so those afflicted by the food allergy can watch the game without worry.
The Mariners are believed to be the first major league team to hold such a night, but it's not an entirely novel concept. A minor league team in suburban Chicago made its entire stadium peanut-free earlier this month.
Though it might seem sacrilegious to some of us shell-cracking folk to not be able to buy peanuts at a baseball game, I don't have much of a problem abstaining for a game or two a year. Peanuts can be potentially deadly to some people and if a little sacrifice on my part means that they can attend and enjoy a game, then I'm all for it.
Making the entire season peanut-free, though? Now that might be a little too much.
So, GOLO, what are your favorite stadium foods?

Supposedly there are some people who have it so bad that the FUMES from peanuts can affect them.
I personally think it has to do with genetics and as the human race continues to find ways to keep from avoiding "Survival of the Fittest", the overall gene pool will continue to get weaker and soon humans will be allergic to other humans' bodily fluids and reproduction will cease, thus ending life as we know it. All because of peanut allergies.
