WHEN DOUBLEDAY in- vented basebal over 100 years ago, he couldn't have envi- sioned it being played at 30,000-and-more-seat ball- parks at night or broadcast to millions across the U.S. and Canada . . . Nor could he have anticipated the quantity of food consumed in the bleachers at major, minor or even little league games. Concession stands, strategi- cally-located throughout the stadiums sell everything from popcorn, ice cream, hot dogs, peanuts and crackerjacks .. . to potato chips, beer, soda and even sushi in San Diego .. . Vendors, who roam the bleachers, can wreak havoc with a weight-conscious fan's best intentions . . . It's so easy to overeat at baseball games that dieters may cry foul and forego the all-American experience. "Don't let spectator sports throw you a curveball," says Florine Mark Ross, area director of Weight Watchers . . . "Between watching the action and chatting with friends, it's easy to eat from the pre-game party right through a full nine-inning game without realizing how much food you've consumed. With a sensible weight-loss program like the new 1989 Quick Success program from Weight Watchers, however, you can enjoy food-related ac- tivities without feeling deprived." Defeat your weighty oppo- nent with these tips from Weight Watchers, says Florine. If you like to munch, and don't want to strike out on your weight-loss plan, pinch hit for pretzels and potato chips with low-calorie crun- chy foods like unbuttered pop- corn . . . Think through beforehand how you will res- pond to friends who en- courage you to eat or drink more than you would like . . . A strategy enables you to decline . . . At pre- and post- game parties, select only the food you planned to eat . . When finished, dispose of your paper plate, diminishing the risk of overeating . . . In- tentionally pass cake and ice cream desserts in favor of refreshing melon and other fruit . . . There's nothing like fresh fruit on a hot summer day . . . Avoid getting to know the beer and soda hawk on a first- name basis . . . Reach for low calorie beverages like diet soda or club soda . . . If you must, try ordering light beer which has fewer calories than regular beer . . . Or, bring along a relief pitcher of cold water livened up with a lemon to guard against the possibility of dehydration.
