About this episode

This episode explores the high costs associated with attending a Dodgers game and questions the value of winning in sports.

If you’ve ever looked at the price of a Dodger Dog, parking, and a Reserve level seat and wondered if you accidentally walked into a jewelry store, this episode is for you. We’re asking the tough question: At what point does winning become too expensive to watch? "It’s the Dodger Tax—you pay for the rings, but you might have to sell yours to afford the beer."
