► As to the monetary cost of sports, this graphic does not seem to account for travel-ball/ club team expenses for any of the sports. Regardless, the points made still seem valid.
► Also, softball costs probably equate fairly closely to the price of baseball equipment, which is listed here as the “most expensive” sport.
