Best Ballpark Eats: Wise Guides Picks a Top 10 from Around the Majors

“Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don't care if I never get back”

Yes, fans still rise and sing that wonderful song during the seventh-inning stretch at ballparks throughout the Major Leagues, but it’s sounding a bit outdated now, isn’t it?  Many of those fans are now downing tangy barbecued beef, spicy sausages, sushi and other exotic items during the game.

Peanuts and cracker jack are often an afterthought.

In fact, fans from 50 years ago or even 10 would hardly recognize the incredible array of food offered at ballparks these days.  So, here’s the Wise Guides Top 10 best ballpark eats in the Majors.  Feel free to tell us we’re crazy and suggest your own. 

1. Italian sausage, Fenway Park, Boston

The Fenway Frank may get all the pub but the Italian with grilled peppers and onions is much tastier. In fact, it’s not even close. The smell of these being grilled up along Yawkey Way is enough to turn a vegetarian.

2. Bratwurst, Miller Park, Milwaukee

Beer may have made Milwaukee famous but the bratwurst is right there. You can find grilled brats at stands throughout the park, and they can be dressed with onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut and the famous ‘Secret Stadium Sauce.’ When in Milwaukee...

3. Boog’s Barbeque, Camden Yards, Baltimore

The smoke from this popular stand billows beyond right-center field and the sweet aroma from the barbequed pork and beef hangs heavy on a hot and humid summer night. It’s named for former Oriole great Boog Powell, and he’s likely to be on hand signing autographs. More importantly, the barbeque’s great.

4. The Schmitter, Citizen’s Bank Park, Philadelphia
