Dallas Latos, wife of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos, tweeted out the in-flight menu for the team’s charter on Sunday. It is extensive:

The menu is divided into four sections: Pre-Departure Snacks, Dinner Selections, Snacks, Beverages. It doesn’t say as much, but presumably the format implies that the second set of snacks is for after the plane has departed.

Pre-departure snacks include personal pizzas, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, California rolls, and shrimp cocktail.

For dinner, Latos, Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto and all the Reds can select from fried shrimp with macaroni and cheese and grilled haricots verts, chicken stir fry with jasmine rice and vegetables, baked lasagna, a bleu cheese and spinach entree salad with a grilled beef fillet on top, or cheeseburgers.

After dinner, there’s ice-cream bars, ice-cream sandwiches, caramel corn, fresh fruit and cheese, candy bars, and more.

(The drink selection is not particularly interesting. It does include Fresca, the chronically underappreciated grapefruit-flavored diet soda.)

The punchline? The menu detailed above was for the Reds’ flight from Chicago to Cincinnati. That trip takes about an hour.

Being a Major League Baseball player is certainly not easy, but being a Major League Baseball player seems pretty awesome.
