Baseball's Gotten Mighty Expensive

From the October 2013 AARP Bulletin "A Boomer's History of the World Series

"October brings the 109th World Series. The fall classic has seen lots of changes since the Boomer Generation dawned in 1946, when the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Boston Red Sox (could it happen again, they're both still in) and 2012, when the San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers.

Here are a few:  (1946 first, 2012 second);

WORLD SERIES TICKETS $1.20-$6.25-- $110 to $1,040
HOT DOG AND A BEER: 50 cents--- $10.25
PROGRAM: 25 cents--- $15

WINNING PLAYER'S BONUS: $3,742.34--- $377,002.64
RING: $100--- $10,000 (est.)

Hey, I Could Have Afforded the 1946 World Series, But Wasn't Alive. --Cooter
