FOUL BALLS: Ranking The Worst Food Safety Violations At Major League Baseball Stadiums

  x You have successfully emailed the post.

Stadium concessions are a huge part of the business of sports as franchises clean up on the high profit margins and lack of competition.

$7.50 for one hot dog? What choice do you have? (Pretty tasty, though.)

For those kinds of prices, fans would expect the highest quality from their food preparers, but things are not always what they seem. It's a tall order to feed 52,000 people in a single night and keep the the kitchen spic and span. Most MLB ballparks can't (totally) pull it off.

So we looked up the public food inspection records for every Major League Baseball stadium to see who's the best — and worst — at keeping your food clean.

These Perfectly Detailed Baseball Stadium Models Will Astonish You

  x You have successfully emailed the post. Baseball is one sport where the classic ballparks are often just as much a part of baseball history as the games and players themselves.

Steve Wolf is an artist that specializes in creating models of baseballs most famous ballparks. Wolf typically spends 2,000 hours working on each model, depending on the scale and amount of detail. The attention to detail, right down to the electric lights and the manicured grass, is so incredible that in a photo, it is often difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

One of Wolf's pieces, the model of 1961 Yankee Stadium that covers 49 square feet, was valued at $150,000 in 2007.

Several of Wolf's pieces are featured in the LA Sports Museum. You can see more of Wolf's work and learn more about the artist at MajorLeagueModels.com.
