it is really crazy to me how much money is spent in baseball. I have to say though, it is one of my favorites to watch live because it is so much more laid back than the other sports. When i had the good fortune to live in Chicago many years ago, Sox tickets were $10 because the stadium was so damn big and the Cubs were so much more popular. I went to almost every game and just chilled and ate hot dogs and drank beer. Of course this ended up costing $40 but that is the nature of the beast!
