There’s nothing like baseball in the summer. Whether you love to keep score from behind home plate, snagging a fly ball in the bleachers or the lemonade and sunset views, there’s a seat (and a snack) with your name on it. Here’s how to make the most of a day at the ballpark; the best spots to sit, what it costs to get there and what kind of experience you can expect.

This is a terrific in-depth guide for those new to a day at the ballpark. Here’s an additional suggestion: if you’re low on cash or really like to be close to the action, or both, check out a minor league game. You can sit up close for around $10, and in your premium seats you can hear the umpire’s calls, and sometimes even the talk from the players.
