The Canadian Business Online Fan Value Index ranks the major league teams and ballparks by the overall league standing, average cost for a family of four to attend a game, and payroll. The best deal in baseball this season was enjoyed by fans of the Tampa Bay Rays — the cost to attend a game was cheapest in the majors, and thanks to a team that placed 3rd overall, they were most likely to enjoy watching their team win.
