Baseball Stadiums Ordered to Stop Selling Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Attorneys representing all 18 Americans who suffer from peanut allergies have secured a Federal court injunction against the sale of peanuts and Cracker Jacks at all Major League Baseball stadiums. Said one of the attorneys, "People who suffer from this allergy have never been able to attend a baseball game because of the potential exposure to lethal peanut levels . MLB owners have been insensitive and uncaring to these people. But, thanks to this court injunction MLB owners are being forced to do the right thing. From this day forward peanuts and Cracker Jacks will be banned from baseball."

Attorneys for Major League Baseball unsuccessfully argued that peanuts and Cracker Jacks are an indispensable part of the Great American Past-Time. However, the judge was unmoved by this line of argumentation and not only issued the injunction but also ordered all references to peanuts and Cracker Jacks be removed from the song "Take Me Out to The Ball Game."

Major League Baseball plans to appeal the injunction. The appeals process could take several years. In the meantime MLB owners have decided to sell Sunflower seeds instead. However, attorneys representing the 4 Americans who suffer from Sunflower seed allergies have threatened to take MLB to court to block this decision.
