Baseball's Worst Beer Value

 

From today's Wall Street Journal.
"According to data collected by Team Marketing Report for the 2009 season, beer prices vary dramatically among big-league teams. A 21-ounce beer costs $4.75 in Pittsburgh, but you'll shell out $8.75 for a 20-ounce brew at San Francisco's AT&T Park. This led us to wonder: Does quality have anything to do with beer prices?
Surprisingly, it does. A team with a .600 winning percentage charges, on average, about $1.30 more for a 16-ounce beer than does a team with a .400 percentage.
Nothing compares to Boston's Fenway Park. There, you'll pay $7.25 for just 12 ounces—a rate that is, ounce for ounce and win for win, the worst beer value in baseball."
