his research project is for the good of man in general and science in particular. Four recent graduates of the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University have reluctantly taken it upon themselves to undergo a six-week, intensive study of the food quality of baseball park concession stands all across this great land of ours. Twenty of the 28 parks in Major League Baseball have been chosen as the sample in this study. We will provide you with a comprehensive look at the quality and saftey of ballpark concessions. We hope this will ease your mind and serve as a handy reference tool for your future visits to the venues of America's Pastime. Maybe, in the process, we'll uncover a conspiracy to keep the Chicago Cubs from winning. Good luck and God speed.

Truthfully, we are going on vacation. It's been two years of books, case analyses, and group work. We are all about to start our jobs and wanted to travel the country, see some baseball, and have fun. We will update this site daily with photos of our whereabouts, as well as interesting stories of the trip. You'll only be a day behind (if we can keep this up and get to a phone line!). We hope you enjoy our vacation!

We've put together a page to extend our thanks to all those who have e-mailed us and hosted us during this excursion. We also extend a special thank you to the band holland.
