I am going to be to games in Washington, Baltimore, Philly, and Pittsburgh. As part of my quest to hit every stadium, one of the things I am doing is trying to eat the ballpark favorite/signature foods at each one. Anybody who has any suggestions for what I must eat while I'm there would be great. I will take any suggestions for the other parks as well for when I get ready to go to the other stadiums.

Going to Wrigley again in April. Last year I went with the classic Chicago dog. Thought I would see what other quality options I can get this year.
Being from MD, I never had them. It seems like people just make a big deal about them being bull nuts. I guess I really expected them to be something (whether something gross or something amazing) & was sort of disappointed that what I got seemed like bland deep fried meat.
Being from Iowa I have had rocky mountain oysters before. Are they bad in Colorado?
I didn't have Rocky Mountain Oysters there, but I had them elsewhere. I didn't feel like they tasted like much of anything. Try them if you're bold. You can also get chocolate covered bacon at Coors Field; it's different to say the least.
Do NOT get the Rocky Mountain Oysters!
I ordered Rockies vs. Cubs tickets in Denver for July. What do I need to eat at Coors Field?
I also try to do a Man vs Food or Diners, Drive Ins and Dives place in each city, or a place just well known around town. It makes it a bit more fun planning the trips. For instance, Cleveland has Melt Bar and Grilled, which was featured on Travel Channel and is pretty well known. It's a grilled cheese based menu; I believe Man vs Food went there and Adam tried the seven pound sandwich challenge and failed. (Not that I blame him.)
I, too, speak highly of Bertman's Ballpark Mustard in Cleveland. As far as Colorado goes, if you have a few extra bucks to splurge 1 evening, go to the Buckhorn Exchange. I know it's not ballpark food, but my wife & I have tried to hit a Man vs. Food profiled restaurant on each of our ballpark trips. Name an animal & they can probably plate it for you; the buffalo prime rib is the greatest cut of meat I've ever had.
Be sure to get the Ballpark Mustard if you go to the store for it...not the Stadium Mustard. Nothing wrong with the Stadium stuff, but the Ballpark Mustard is the authentic one.
Shawn, Progressive Field in Cleveland has really good mustard, and further, it is available for sale in the team store - great souvie for a low price.
