The opening month of the MLB regular season across Arizona sports betting provides players the unique opportunity to get their feet under them before the grind of summer arrives, allowing younger players to gain confidence ahead of the stretch run.
It also provides fans of those teams to hit their ballpark of choice for the first time and try out a cavalcade of novelty food items that have taken the league by storm of late, with the Arizona Diamondbacks being no exception.
Take, for instance, the Churro Dog thatâs been a staple at Chase Field ever since 2015, a warm cinnamon churro sitting inside a chocolate-glazed donut topped with frozen yogurt, caramel and chocolate sauces. The dog has evolved into several iterations over the years, and recently tied for the fourth top unhealthy ballpark concession in the 30-team league by fans.
With May 11 being National Eat What You Want Day, BetArizona.com wanted to know what MLB ballpark has had the most outlandish, unhealthy concession items to date. To figure this out, we asked fans to submit their favorite unhealthy fare within Reddit.comâs subreddit r/mlb. We ranked the top 10 most unhinged, unhealthy, yet fan-favorite foods based on the number of upvotes a comment received.
