Rangers' ninth inning 'Rally Sombrero' leads 2026 new ballpark foods

America's pastime doesn't just include the action on the diamond -- it extends to the food at the ballpark, too.

Teams across Major League Baseball continue to raise their game when it comes to concession items. Hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jack are merely the tip of the iceberg. This season is no different with new creations making headlines of their own.

The Texas Rangers are serving up a 9th inning rally sombrero where fans can eat their head off -- sort of. With a large tortilla as the base, a nine-layer dip filled with toppings such as guacamole, cheese and black olives surrounds the middle. Tortilla chips are located in the center for an easily accessible way to grab and dip.

Here are more ballpark innovations that can be found at MLB concession stands this season.
