The baseball season has started.  We were talking with some friends -- and were amazed that parking alone at Yankee Stadium was $35 (more for valet parking!).  Here is a look at some of the expenses to attend a baseball game.

The average ticket price across all 30 teams is $26.91, which is only a 1.2 percent increase from last season.
Here are some of the other highlights from the report:

• The highest non-premium ticket prices
 are the Boston Red Sox ($53.38), the New York Yankees ($51.83), the Chicago Cubs ($46.90 and the Chicago White Sox ($40.67).
