Major League Baseball's Opening Day Today marked the return of America's favorite pastime: Major League Baseball. Fans turned up to show their spirit with a parade of inspired hats.

That makes enough hot dogs to stretch from the Los Angeles Dodgers stadium to Chicago's Wrigley Field. The average price for a baseball ticket will be $27.93 this year, according to Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index. But if you want to see World Series champions the Red Sox play, on average it'll set you back more than $52.
