PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- Just mentioning the price of beer at a Major League Baseball game can cause a bench-clearing brawl.
There'll be accusations of price inflation. There'll be cries for discounts and reparations. There'll be an overarching argument that the whole thing is unfair... and that's just the stadium vendors talking.
We learned a few things about beer pricing in baseball while writing about it last year, but the biggest lesson is that fans, teams and stadium concessions providers have vastly different views of beer pricing at baseball games. The only constant is that it's all in the eye of the beholder.

it says small beer at AT&T Park is $6.75. Only beer I saw there when I go a few times a year is $9.50 or more.
