"Our payroll is $75 million, and our ticket prices average $22. Some of the teams we compete against charge an average of $45," Angelos said. "We're going to have to match the competition. How to do that is a decision I will make in the future."

As for saying that "prices are at a minimum," Team Marketing Report shows that the average price for an adult at Oriole Park Camden Yards at $22.53, ranking them 12th out of the 30 clubs, and above the league average of $22.21. The Orioles kept the average price the same this year from the year prior.

If the man wants an explanation for why his club isn't winning, Angelos needs to look in the mirror.
