Is this a mis-statement? Food and drinks in the middle of the game?

Bob,

Considering the content of the author's collective oeuvre on this board, I doubt it.

Those must be time limited games with intermissions.

You have to have something to do when the T-baller's take their mid-game potty breaks.

Often the case. The leagues allowed for a 7-10 minute intermission (off the clock) at the bottom of the 5th if both sides agreed or the UIC put that in place at the home plate meeting. Sunday games @1400 with no enclosed dugouts, no trees, no shade anywhere, after a couple of dehydrations, adults coming off a Saturday night in South Beach - certain fields it became a medical must. A 210 minute time limit meant that the average game is 4 hours, more if an extra inning (only one allowed unless playoffs).

You mean you haven't popped your flask once or twice during a game, Bob? Heck, that would explain your strike zone.
