Ballpark health code violations

06:29 AM ET 05.14 | Do richer Major League Baseball teams play in cleaner stadiums? We surveyed health-code violations at 11 stadiums to find out. It turns out that two of baseball's richest teams, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, and a team near the bottom of the revenue pile, the Kansas City Royals, play in stadiums with some of the best inspection records. But the big middle contains several ballparks where you might want to skip the hot dogs. Two West Coast teams, the Los Angeles Angels and the Oakland A's, had far more food fouls than any other team. While most were minor, some were, well, disgusting. Teams contract out food service to a handful of vendors, though team management is responsible for stadium cleanliness. The A's declined to comment; a spokesperson for the Angels conceded that 2007 was an off year but that the team had worked with its vendor and an outside consultant and made a lot of changes for 2008.

My guess is they steared clear of the bathrooms. Those piss troughs (sp) in some mens bathrooms are downright nasty. The last time I was at a game there was at least 2 inches of "fluid" on teh floor (water, pee, probably a little beer and who knows what else.)
Anyway, that was my lesson to never wear sandals to a ball game.
Me DUM DUM!

There ain't nothing wrong with the hot dogs at Yankee Stadium. I have one every game. Now the cost of that hot dog is what needs to be addressed. Just another hack writer trying to take a swipe at the most revered franchise in sports history. F Colorado.
