Votes can be cast at Buy me some peanuts and ... Twinkie cheese dogs?
Peanuts are among the standard fare at Fifth Third Ballpark in suburban Grand Rapids. But the cheese-coated wiener stuck into the spongy cake with creamy filling will be available only if West Michigan Whitecaps fans vote it onto the menu.
The Detroit Tigers affiliate in the Class A Midwest League on Feb. 9 began soliciting online votes for 10 concession-stand concoctions, with the winner to be announced next month.
Whitecaps officials have offered unusual fan fare for the past few years, including the four-pound, 4,800-calorie Fifth Third Burger, which made its debut last season. It remains on the menu in 2010, although the team's Web site doesn't mention whether the price is still $20.
