Okay, So, I'll Have TWO Large Pretzels Instead

The Hartford Yard Goats, a Double A minor league baseball club, has had great success at the box office since finally moving into their new downtown ballpark. And they're gambling that it will not affect their ticket sales that they're banning peanuts from the park, so that allergic kids can attend. They're also playing it all up for publicity, asking for submissions to change the lyrics of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" to eliminate the part about peanuts and Cracker Jack. I'm sure you have an opinion on this, but, really, if they didn't announce the ban, would you have even noticed? I mean, I've eaten peanuts at ballparks for years, but I don't always get them and if I didn't see them being sold, I don't know that I'd notice at all. (Washington Post)
