Baseball and Beer

What better way to follow up an article on baseball ballparks than to talk about one of the most crucial aspects of watching a ballgame; beer. For the most part, the beer choice at stadiums is going to be pretty standard and the selection won't vary that often, only small changes depending on regional loyalties. But one of the most important parts is the price of the beer. SaveonBrew.com has given fans an informative graphic showing them which teams are a little too pricy when it comes to their suds.

A couple of fun and interesting facts for you to ponde

As you will see, and it should come to no surprise, the Angels sell the 2nd least expensive beer when it comes to cents per ounce. Why should that come as no surprise? Because not only are the Angels one of the best organizations in baseball, but owner Arte Moreno is a fans' owner. One of the first things he did as an owner was lowering the beer prices in the stadium. Moreno was able to put two and two together and realize that the satisfaction of his fans comes not only from the product on the field but also from the amount of alcohol in their stomach in relation to the quantity of green in their wallets.

Home runs and pitching gems keep the fans in the stands, but the booze keeps them satisfied and at times raucous. Those dog days in August can be tough on the fans. The sun is beating down on you and maybe your squad is having a bad day; maybe you can't get production from the meat of your order and your starting pitcher's curveball just won't curve, whats better than to wash it down with a cold one? Owners need to take notice and realize that there is no point in making a quick buck by raising your beer prices. Lets think about the fans for a second, and lets keep those beer prices around Joe Albanese's ERA.

Until next time, this is the Berg just trying to stay relevant.
