FLORENCE, Ky. (WTVN) -- When you take someone out to a Florence Freedom baseball game you won't be able to buy some peanuts or Cracker Jacks."We're just taking it off the menu," said Sarah Eichenberger, assistant general manager of marketing and promotions.
The team is believed to be the first in the nation to make such a move.
It's due to the growing number of people with peanut allergies.
It's a number that has tripled in recent years.
....."We're getting rid of peanut M&Ms as well and then we had those lovely Drumstick ice cream cones that we all love that have peanuts on top of them," she said.
......Eichenberger believes there is another team that could soon follow suit and sees peanut-free ballparks becoming a trend.
