Recession-weary Red Sox [team stats] fans came out swinging against the team’s increase in ticket prices for certain seats at Fenway Park [map].

“It’s extremely greedy of the Red Sox,” Dermot Doyne, owner of Penguin Pizza in Boston, said of the nearly 4 percent average increase. “If anything, the team should be giving families a break. They have lost touch with the fans. It’s like only corporations can afford to attend a game.”
