Baseball Cracker Jack: The Seventh-Inning Snack

The way baseball stadium menus have changed in recent years, an updated verse of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” might include the lyric, “Buy me some sushi and lobster rolls,” rather than peanuts and Cracker Jack.

Since 1908, the iconic Cracker Jack brand has been helpfully promoted by the song, a mainstay of the seventh-inning stretch. But ballpark food options are vastly different than they were even a decade or two ago.
