At Globe Life Park, the Texas Rangers offer the M.V.T., which features a 2-foot hot dog stuffed in a tamale and covered in Texas Chili, nacho cheese and sour cream. But wait–there’s more! Totchos? They’re tater tot nachos, topped with choice of chicken or steak, bell peppers, jalapeños, and a buffalo sauce, with a spicy queso on the side.The Kansas City Royals show off their barbecue prowess at Kauffman Stadium with a pulled pork patty melt that includes onions, cheese, bacon and jalapenos. The bun is made of funnel cake. The San Diego Padres at Petco Park’s favorite snack is the California burrito, stuffed with fries in addition to a protein, sour cream, and salsa. And the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field present “The Heater:” That’s a jalapeno-cheddar sausage topped with spicy cole slaw and sriracha mayo.
