When the Dodgers face off against the Florida Marlins on May 11, some attendees with peanut allergies will be able to enjoy the game without the fear of ingesting them.
One section of Dodger Stadium will be cleaned to be free of any and all peanut products Monday. It's part of Major League Baseball's push to cater to baseball fans who are allergic to peanuts with "peanut-sensitive" games.
"It is so important when any Major League Baseball [team] or any major sporting event validates this condition by saying, 'You know what, we want our fans to be comfortable,'" says Louise Larsen, founder of
Parents Of Kids With A Severe Peanut Allergy, The Blog.
She tells KPCC it's a way to help children with allergies feel relaxed and safe at a baseball game.

In fact, if anybody even mentioned Pederson, i'd also hang up the phone so that word runs around that we're not messing around; unlike Fox who would deplete the entire farm system because someone offered them a 4% tax cut.
