Within minutes, however, the team store inside the ballpark was overwhelmed with hundreds of fans attempting to buy the freshly unpacked World Series merchandise.

From $48 caps to $225 jerseys and more.

Fans looking for knick knacks like World Series mugs, shot glasses and tumblers can expect to pay $24, $8 and $32 respectively.
