The Chicago White Sox know what sports fans want. It's not a winning team, it's 12 scoops of ice cream, 3 sauces, 2 bananas, whipped cream and cherries.

When you had almost 100 losses in your last season you have to do something to take fan's minds of the actual game.

meanwhile anybody can go down to the grocery store and pickup as much ice cream as they can eat.

I've never found bananas to be particularly appealing with ice cream/whipped cream/chocolate.

if there's one thing I want on a hot summer day as I'm standing outside watching a 4 hour game, it's a big bucket of milk product.

Holy Wow!:

The Texas Rangers, meanwhile, are serving bacon on a stick -- a three-quarters-inch thick piece of bacon that is Hungarian smoked and dipped in maple syrup -- for $7. Fans also have the option of washing down the bacon with a frozen beer -- served at 20.5 degrees Fahrenheit and on a hot day -- for $7.75.

Not a lot different than this:

"Named after the bat used by Texas Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz, the $26 Boomstick is a 2-foot all-beef hot dog, smothered in chili, nacho cheese, jalapenos and caramelized onions, all on top of a massive potato bun. The whole thing weighs in at 3 pounds. "

You know the baseball season is around the corner when we are discussing ballpark food.

Sounds awesome. :oops:

I always get a Big Atomic with onions and peppers when I go to an A's game. It's like a foot long Saag's atomic hot.

Well, they charge 17 dollars for ice cream, they better give you a lot of it for that price!

and at ball park prices I would normally expect it to cost 50 or 60 dollars.

How the shit can they make a profit at 17?

I'd have that. Though, the last time I ate that much ice cream in one sitting I had a stomach ache for like 3 days. But damn, that ice cream cake was good. Worth it.
