Take Me Out to the Ball Game...allergy-free alternatives from McCoy Stadium

The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported on April 9 that
"In an effort to broaden the PawSox’ appeal, [Mike] Tamburro [Pawtucket Red Sox team president and part-owner] is working on a couple of projects this year aimed at fans with food allergies.
At two games this year, McCoy will be peanut free to make it accessible for people with peanut allergies. That involves thoroughly cleaning the stadium so that there’s no trace of peanuts from previous games.
And for the first time, McCoy’s concessions will offer gluten-free food to accommodate the gluten intolerant, who include Tamburro’s 30-year-old daughter."

Kudos to Little Rhody's PawSox for being innovative, and making it possible for kids with food allergies to enjoy baseball just like any other kid.
