When a ticket to stand at the world series is $1000, MLB is hardly a people's sport

The US Census Bureau reported a mean personal income of $44,510 for all workers over age 15 with income based on the Current Population Survey for 2015. That comes to $3709.00 per month, or $23.18 per hour, assuming 160 hours per month.

A ticket to stand at Game 7 of the World Series therefore costs 43 hours of labor.  A whole week's worth of work for a three hour baseball game, and you can't even sit down.
