Yesterday we told you about the efforts of some Minor League baseball teams to attract fans to the ballpark in these tough economic times with heart-attack inducing food items. Not to be outdone, the Lake Elsinore Storm will see your greasy burgers, onion-laden bratwurst and goopy gop and raise you some free fart neutralizers.A recent press release from the team reads:

So, there you have it. Further reason to blame the scourge of social networking as the downfall of Western civilization.
