Citizens Bank Park, as predicted, wins third consecutive veg award

Back in April, I previewed the Phillies' 2009 season from an eater's perspective with the piece "Crowding the Plate." I made mention of Citizens Bank Park's plethora of vegetarian options, for which they've been honored:
... CBP, which PETA has named the No. 1 vegetarian ballpark in Major League Baseball two years in a row, is aiming for the threepeat this season with meat-free eats aplenty � black bean burgers with cilantro sour cream and pepper jack cheese, veggie quesadillas, vegan burgers, veggie cheesesteaks and veg-friendly hoagies courtesy of Planet Hoagie will be available at various locations throughout the stadium.
They aimed for it, and they got it � CBP's been named best vegetarian park in the majors once again! It's the first stadium to take the honors home three years in a row. (Granted, they've only been doing this since 2002, but that's still hot.) From a PETA statement:
With the addition of the new Southwestern black-bean burgers and mock crab cake salad to a lineup that already featured Philly-style faux-steak and faux-chicken sandwiches, veggie dogs, and meatless wraps, CBP was a shoo-in. And ranking number one with PETA could portend good things for the Phils: After receiving a first-place ranking from PETA last year, the team went on to win the World Series!
... did PETA seriously just try to take credit for us being World F. Champions?
