It’s opening day for Major League Baseball. The Dodgers and Cubs had two games in Japan last week, but everyone else gets started today.

Google looked at the top baseball questions and ballpark foods that Americans have been searching for. They posted a map of the top ballpark food each state’s been Googling the past week. They include beer, brats, corn dogs, fries and nachos.

Other things we’re Googling…how much do minor league players make? As little as $20,000 to $36,000 a year depending on the league they’re in. It used to be less but they got a raise in 2023. Also, how heavy is a baseball? It varies a little. The rules say a ball can’t weigh less than five ounces, or more than five-and-a-quarter ounces. Finally, how long are baseball games? Not as long as they used to be. The average hit an all-time high of 3 hours and 10 minutes in 2021. Then the pitch clock arrived, and it got down to 2 hours and 36 minutes last year.
