My favorite food story so far this week comes from the Devil Rays:
BALTIMORE - Beanie Maddon packed a lunch for her son for his first day on the job.
She walked down to the corner of the visitor’s dugout at Oriole Park and peered in looking for her son, holding a bag that contained a hoagie with ham, salami, cheese, onions and hot peppers.
Joe Maddon then caught the eye of his 73-year-old mother, who had made the 2 1/2 -hour drive south from their hometown of Hazleton, Pa., to see her son’s first day as Rays manager. His sister, Carmine Parlatore, was also along for support.
The rule, Maddon jokes, is that any visitors from Hazleton - population: 25,000 - must bring a hoagie from the Third Base Luncheonette in Hazleton, where Beanie still works as a waitress, or a steak and cheese sub from Bellhop’s, or some cold pizza from Senape’s.
“Especially if I’m leaving them tickets,” Maddon said.

Pizza from Senapes (say it “Snaps”) is best eaten cold. It travels well too. Thick curst (not my favorite, but this is different)
