Consider the Dodgers’ dominance of the last decade. Since 2013, they’ve been the most successful team in baseball, the only club in that stretch to post a winning percentage above .600. They’ve led MLB in attendance in each of those seasons. In just about every metric—wins, payroll, various forms of fan engagement—they have made a habit of sitting atop the league.
And one more: The Dodgers sell more hot dogs than any other team. By a lot.
It helps, of course, to have those league-leading attendance totals in the biggest stadium in baseball.
