There’s nothing quite like an ice-cold beer at a baseball game.
In Boston, Red Sox fans can enjoy a small draft beer for $7.75 – the most expensive in the big leagues.
Twins fans, who sometimes need a beer just to numb the pain of watching a game, like the two hours and 50 minutes of misery that was the Twins’ 12-3 loss to the Royals in Monday’s home opener, pay the second-highest price for a small draft beer in Major League Baseball, according to Business Insider.
Anyone who went from Twins game directly to Wolves game is risking blindness. This combo would be the Medusa's Head of sports.

A small draft beer at Target Field costs $7.50, but thanks to 20-ounce cups, fans pay $.38 per ounce – the tenth-best deal in MLB. Boston fans pay $.65 per ounce because a small draft beer at Fenway Park comes in a 12-ounce cup.
Other Target Field average prices, according to Team Marketing Report:
- Average Ticket: $32.59
- Premium Ticket: $74.18
- Soft drink: $5
- Hot dog: $4.50
- Parking: $6
- Cap: $20
In other words, four adult tickets, two small draft beers, four small soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking for one vehicle and two hats will cost, on average, about $230.
The Twins, losers of at least 90 games each of the last four seasons, are once again considered one of the worst teams in baseball; and one win in the first seven games of the season has provided plenty of support for pessimistic opinions.
