"Not exactly sure what this says about tomorrow's game. Just that graham cracker ice cream rules? And there should be more of it?" [Photographs: Robyn Lee] We got our paws on Turkey Hill's special Yankees and Phillies ice cream flavors that we mentioned yesterday. All four are actually available year-round at most of the major grocery store chains in the tri-state area, so if you don't see them, try poking the frozen foods manager to hook you up. No matter how well the teams do all season, they should be available. Turkey Hill is proud to be the official and exclusive ice cream for both teams (just like Hood, which makes "Fenway Fudge," is for the Red Sox). Turkey Hill's...

Even if you're not a baseball fan, you might appreciate this: Turkey Hill's four limited edition ice cream flavors inspired by the Yankees and Phillies: the Phillies Graham Slam (graham ice cream with chocolate marshmallow cups and a graham swirl), Phillie Phanatic Double Play (Bavarian cream-flavored ice cream with caramel corn and caramel swirl), the Yankees Bronx Bombers Sundae (chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookie swirl and chocolate covered crunchies), and the Pinstripe Brownie Blast (vanilla ice cream with brownie batter swirl and brownie pieces). Unfortunately, these are typically just available in the tri-state area....

scoreboardgourmet.typepad.com Scoreboard Gourmet is a blog covering food's intersection with sports, particularly baseball right now. With Florida spring training in full swing, they are less focused on steroid scandals, more so on hot dog vendors and smoked corn. Some recent breaking news: the new Yankees stadium will not sell guava juice. [via djacobs]...

How did the Phillies become world champs this year? Maybe because their fans stay well-nourished with projectile hot dogs. Hatfield Meats and our favorite chubby green furball mascot, Phillie Phanatic engineered a hot dog launcher and documented (mockumented?) the planning phases, which were sometimes tense given the Phanatic's temper. Like all good ideas, it started with a dream: "I liked to shoot things as a kid," says co-creator Eric Haman. As far as flying objects go, these look tastier than a home run or foul ball. The video, after the jump....

We somehow missed this last week, and I kick myself for that because it's such a cool story. The Wall Street Journal has a charming feature on L.A. Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier and his nascent food blog. Mr. Ethier knows where to find the best throat-meat tacos in Los Angeles, the juiciest Salvadoran papusas and the city's tastiest Romanian chicken stew. He waxes poetic about the pinto beans in his native Arizona, where they're often pureed with cream and lard. "Here they want you to taste the bean, not the lard, which is... different."In June, Mr. Ethier began snapping pictures of the dishes at some of his favorite restaurants and posting them on a blog he calls Dining With 'Dre....

Milwaukee Brewers fans might have reason to get nervous. According to this report from the Onion, starting pitcher CC Sabathia and first baseman Prince Fielder keep envisioning each other as juicy chili cheese dogs and hamburgers on legs, which distracts from the game. Brewers manager Ned Yost had to step in and regulate, announcing that any player who attempts to devour another, no matter how scrumptious they look, will be subject to disciplinary action....

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack—again and again and again. I just read in the Wall Street Journal (in the paper version, as the online version of the story is, unfortunately, behind a paywall) that Dodger Stadium is offering all-you-can-eat hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, peanuts, and soda as part of a package deal in its cheap, right-field seats. "Tickets range from $20 to $40 apiece, depending on the allure of the match-up and whether they are bought by groups or individuals."...

Well, it's one way to achieve some sort of sandwich-based immortality. The mayor's errant ceremonial first pitch on baseball's opening day has inspired a sandwich with a fitting name: The Mark Mallory Screwball.The ingredients for the sandwich at Izzy's deli will be "any two meats tossed in the general direction of a bun or two pieces of bread." But Mallory has a good sense of humor about it: "This is wonderful," he said. "Who wouldn't want a sandwich named for them?"...

The Gateway Grizzlies, the Frontier League baseball team based in Sauget, Illinois, are at it again. Last year the stadium served "The Grizzly Burger," a bacon cheeseburger served on a toasted Krispy Kreme doughnut. This year, they're raising the bar with deep-fried White Castle sliders. Called "Baseball’s Best Sliders," they'll come two for $4. A side of cheese sauce is $1 extra. Says Darren Rovell, the man who broke the Grizzly Burger story last year, "It’s pretty awesome when it has been sitting in the studio for an hour. I can only imagine how great it is hot out of the fryer sitting at the ballpark. I couldn’t eat too much being that I’m down a gallbladder, but it basically...
