Major League Baseball and food are practically synonymous. After all, what’s a trip to the ballpark without a hot dog and a cold drink?
But as the years have gone by, the food options at each stadium throughout the league has grown. The standby’s like hot dogs, nachos, Cracker Jack’s, peanuts and soda are still around but they are now joined by more high-end options.
With that in mind, it only makes sense to take a look at each MLB park’s food choices and how they stack up against each other
The MLB offseason is slowly coming to a close with spring training just around the corner—but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good free agents left on the market.
Right now is the time for teams to make that one last signing in order to push them over the edge; he may not be a big name, but he may come up with a key hit or strikeout at some point in the season. That’s why it’s so important to keep hunting for the best players up until the first pitch of the 2012 season.
Let’s take a look at some of the best players still available.
The 2012 MLB free-agent class is one of the most top-heavy classes seen in recent memory.
First basemen Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder sit at the top of the class with shortstop Jose Reyes right behind them. The star pitchers are C.J. Wilson and Yu Darvish but beyond the top five players, it is a lackluster free-agent class.
But no matter how good or bad they are, all of the players will end up somewhere.
Let’s take a look at their most likely destinations.
2011 was a mediocre season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. They started off terribly but came up strong to finish the year 82-79.
Dodgers fans got to watch an exciting finish as center fielder Matt Kemp chased the MVP award and left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw pursued the Cy Young award.
The 2012 season should be even more exciting as an improved Dodgers team will make a push towards a return to the playoffs.
Let’s take a look at why the Dodgers will win another NL West division title in 2012.
Coco Crisp has been about as controversial a player as the Oakland Athletics could have in 2011.
While he has been fairly steady offensively, he has been hurt for significant amounts of time during his stay in Oakland, having only played in 211 games in his two seasons there.
For now, his stay in Oakland is up. The only question left is whether or not the A’s will try to re-sign him.
Here’s why they should.
