⚾ 🥎 It's 1955. You are at the concession stand at Shibe Park. What are you ordering?

I would be unable to order anything on the menu.

Hot beef sandwich

Same. Unless it’s a hot summer game, then probably pass on all of it. I just really don’t like eating at my seat at any type of sports event though. Premium and club areas, absolutely. But not when I’m crammed in like eggs in a carton in the stands… half the time there’s nowhere to even put down your drink.

Spoken like the true professional that you are.

If "Roast Ribs Prime Beef" is a fancy way of saying Prime Rib, then I'll stop by a grab a plate to go after the game.

I’m like @rick4bama, passing on those selections.

Ya know what this thread shows? How much crap you eat at the ball park today. A meat concoction in the form of a tube with pig snouts and feet versus an all beef sandwich (their hamburger.)

@Brandon Van de Graaff I don't know. I doubt fans were crammed in like they are today. Heck, in the 1950's men were still wearing suits to games.

I'd wonder how the drinks were served: paper cups, plastic, glass cups for coffee?

I don't know about you guys. The idea of a cold afternoon, watching baseball in Philly, and drinking .10 cups of strong black coffee! I would be there just for the 'joe.'

My first vision upon reading the original post was me sitting there in a hot ass suit and stupid looking hat in late July in Philly and eating a hotdog or some such. I'd probably puke before the inning tuned over. Just give me the ice cream.

I figured. Something tells me that ground beef isn't 80/20. Then again, those dogs back then? I'm thinking the main ingredient isn't Red Dye #5

glass bottle I think it would be both beer and soda. I'm think no fat food at all.

Have to pass. Prices are too high.

The hamburger meat in the 50-60’s had 2.75 times the nutrients of the beef today. Plus no antibiotics and growth hormones. A hot dog is completely different. Then it was just trimmings, today it’s trimmings, chemicals, food dyes, and 1 to 3% human dna.

I'm picturing a pit beef or chicago beef style sandwich from a street vendor or deli when they say hot beef. I'd still take that today over most concession stand food. Was also thinking fall in Philly.

Wrigley's has an Italian beef. I think it's the only stadium. KC with BBQ beef sandwiches. I believe that's unique to that park.

There's a place in the current Philly stadium that serves a beef sandwich and it's an all beef burger. It's a throwback to when the Philly's first started playing. So, I'm putting 2 and 2 together on this one. I'd have to look it up. I remember it's something like Section 108. It IS behind 108: a stand dedicated to that sandwich.

Confession: I got lost one day looking at MLB concessions. I remember that one; Section 8 references. I also noticed that the stand close to the burger stand is sponsored by Yuengling. At one time that would tell me where to sit.

Not like I wouldn't eat a burger in Philly but it wouldn't be my first choice.
