Published 3/28/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
It will cost a lot more to root, root, root for the home team this year.
Major League Baseball's average ticket price increased 10.9 percent this season to $25.40, the Team Marketing Report said Friday. That's the steepest increase since a 12.9 rise in 2001.
The World Series champion Red Sox, playing in the major leagues' smallest ballpark, have the highest average at $48.80, up 10.1 percent.
The Chicago Cubs, 100 years removed from their last World Series title, are second at $42.49, up 23.
