MILWAUKEE (AP) — Miller Park may have the Racing Sausages and a long history of grilling meat at tailgates, but the home of the Milwaukee Brewers has cracked a top 10 list of vegetarian-friendly ballparks.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says Miller Park tied for 10th in its rankings for vegetarian options at the park like veggie dogs, vegetable wraps, tossed salads, fresh fruit, stir-fry and baked potatoes.

PETA assistant director Dan Shannon also noted that first baseman Prince Fielder is a vegetarian. Fielder is leading the Brewers in home runs and RBIs this season.

Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park earned first place honors for the third year in a row.

I thought PETA was ordered to stay 500ft from Baseball at all times.

If Prince is a vegetarian he must eat a LOT of carbs then.
