MADISON, Wis. -- Remember the line in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" about buying "peanuts and Cracker Jack"?

According to the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, more than three million Americans suffer from a peanut allergy, making baseball games and peanuts a not-so-enjoyable combination.

Now as the number of people with peanut allergies grows, one Major League Baseball team, the Minnesota Twins, is addressing the problem with trial runs of peanut-free sections at two of their home games.

Sheree Godwin, director of the Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin and mother of three children with numerous food allergies, says she has written to both the Milwaukee Brewers and the Madison Mallards to ask them to institute a peanut-free section at their respective ballparks.

"We would like to sit where we don't have to worry about people behind us dropping their peanut shells on us," said Godwin.

The Madison Mallards did consult with the Food Allergy Association about a peanut-free section, but they felt that due to the wooden bleachers and dirt floors that not all existing peanut resin could be satisfactorily removed.

Fans wanting peanut-free baseball will have to travel to Minneapolis on August 18 to see the Twins play the Seattle Mariners. But be advised, tickets for the two peanut-free sections on August 5 -- the last time the experiment was tried -- sold out in less than a week.
