Buy it some peanuts and cracker jacks, or better yet: let it buy them for you. Engadget keyed us in to the new Nintendo Fan Network being tested first at Safeco Field, the home stadium of the Seattle Mariners.

Oh, there had better be a mascot!

Major League Baseball is certainly interested in making the game more engaging for fans, and Nintendo looks to be committed to evolving and expanding the program if it does well.
