At some point in the very near future every MLB and Minor League Baseball team preview that's published will feature more food and drink scouting reports than actual player scouting reports.

That's the direction we're trending, folks. Might as well jump on board now. Kind of like the Minnesota Twins did this week when they introduced the $19 "College Daze Bloody Mary," which comes garnished with a cold slice of pepperoni pizza in addition to many of the usual fixings one might be accustomed to.

The new item will be available at Hrbeks' restaurant, which is named after former Twins' first baseman and Bloomington, Minn., native Kent Hrbek. Here's a peek courtesy of Jeanie Hrbek, Kent's wife.

And here's the full description, courtesy of Hrbeks'.

This Bloody Mary will bring back the memories (or not)! This cool Bloody Mary gets a cold slice of Pepperoni Pizza which is just what you need with a Bloody Mary! If that wasn’t enough you also get all the other fixings! Beef Stick, Pepper Jack and Cheddar Cheese Cubes, Pepperoncini, Olive, Celery, & a Pickle Spear. Served with a Bud Light Beer Back.

Apparently this is the logical progression from last season's "Better Burger Bloody Mary," which came adorned with a full bacon cheeseburger.

Between these items, the Astros' Chicken and Waffle Cone, and the Krispy Creme Donut Dog offered by the Wilmington BlueRocks, we've officially reached the point of no return. All that's left to wonder is how these items can literally and figuratively be topped in the years ahead.
