Default Boston Foods?

World Series Party at my house Sunday night!!!!!

Menu needs to be stereotypical Boston foods.
Or baseball foods.

Cardinals fans not welcome at my house! :-)
Neither are Baby Ruth candy bars right now. Why take chances and possibly
**** off the Ghosts???? LOL


So far I have planned the following:

-Boston Baked Beans from Fanny Farmer's cookbook (the recipe is virtually
the same as Durgin Park's, except the quantity is more manageable)

-Grilled Hot dogs on New England style, split-top buns with all the
trimmings.

-Peanuts and Cracker Jack to munch on during the game
(along with veggies, chips and dips)

-homemade (vinegar based) cole slaw (which isn't particularly Bostonian nor
is it particularly baseball-ian, but it goes nicely with hot dogs and
beans!) Recipe from 2nd Ave Deli. (it's been posted here before)

-Dessert will be Brigham's "Reverse the curse" ice cream, if I can find it.
According to the Brigham's website, one of my local supermarkets carries it.
I don't even care what actual flavor "Reverse the curse" is, it's a symbolic
thing!!!!! Perhaps some Boston Cream Pie if I can't find that particular
flavor.

Sam Adams beer. I am particularly fond of their Octoberfest. Will probably
offer the Light, the Boston Ale and the Octoberfest. I'll see what I can get
at the packy.

What else am I missing?
I'm thinking about other appetizers, food that is simple to eat either out
of hand or without cutting, but have a Boston or baseball "ring" to them.

Any other ideas?
