Between major league baseball's spring training and regular season and the 204 teams playing in the various minor and independent leagues that tracked attendance, ticket sales to the sport's pro parks in 2015 were 122,153,798.

That total was mostly derived from the box offices at the 248 regularly-used ballparks at the four levels we've tracked, although a few other ballparks contributed small amounts to the total count. In 2015, they included Rickwood Field in Birmingham, AL and Holman Stadium in Vero Beach, FL, each of which hosts an annual minor league game.

The 122,153,798 total isn't completely exhaustive -- playoff games and some exhibitions were excluded -- but here's what was counted: all regular season games in major, minor and independent league baseball, plus all spring training games played in spring training ballparks in Arizona and Florida. Based on that criteria, tickets were taken at ballpark gates for 14,641 game dates during the 2015 professional baseball season. The breakdowns for each level of play are found on this page.
