Finally, you can eat bacon-shelled tacos (yes, shells made of bacon) at a baseball game

Hold onto your hearts. The West Michigan Whitecaps announced the Baco -- a taco with a shell made of solid bacon strips - on Wednesday as the winner of their 2013 Food Vote contest.

Perhaps trying to top the Charleston RiverDogs' Peanut Butter and Jelly Jalapeno Bacon Burger, the Tigers' Class A affiliate will serve the pig-centric dish all season at Comstock Park. More pictures can be found here.

Fans voted the Baco onto the stadium menu over a corn dog covered cheese and duck bacon and something called "Rascal Chow" that somehow included both Reeses and bacon. Seriously.  Also new to the menu is the Squeelin' Pig sandwich, which is apparently so spicy that eaters must sign a waiver before tasting it.

What's the best way to eat a Baco? I'd top it with bacon strips, a few pork rinds and a very generous smattering of bacon bits.
