Way back in March, before the season started, we ran through a pretty huge list of the new ballpark food items for the season. The days of just hot dogs and popcorn and long gone. The atmosphere isn't the only thing different at the ballpark in October. Some concession stands of playoff teams are rolling out new items for the postseason. Let's take a look and let our mouths water.
