While most teams across the country were trying to create the biggest, baddest and messiest burgers in baseball, the Lancaster JetHawks began working on the anti-monster burger, or Itty Bitty Burgers.

The tiny hamburgers in deep fried buns are only available for a limited time. They can be upgraded to a "cheeseburger" (the addition of nacho cheese dipping sauce) and can be served with complimentary sides of ketchup, mustard and relish.

"It seemed like everyone was attempting to out-do each other this year by creating food that didn't look appealing, so we thought we'd go in a different direction," JetHawks Food and Beverage Director Adam Fillenworth said.

Fans can get their hands on Itty Bitty Burgers by visiting the Home Plate Concession Stand when the JetHawks open a short homestand against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes Wednesday. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

Ticket packages for the 2011 season are currently available. To lock in your seats, call (661) 726-5400 or visit www.JetHawks.com.
