Every baseball fan dreams of catching a home run ball at an MLB game, and though most of us will never go home with a game-used ball, you can improve your odds by sitting in the right place. The magicians at SeatGeek used ticketing and home run data to chart every long ball hit during the 2015 season and figure out what section is the best value for souvenir seekers at each MLB stadium.

Each chart is color coded according to the Cost Index (green means the seat is the best value, red means you have very little shot of leaving with a home run). Heading to Fenway Park? Standing atop the Green Monster can be pricey, but it's by far your best shot at catching a ball.

Three adjacent sections in Yankee Stadium's short right field gobbled up 86 home runs last season, but if you sit in the outfield bleachers you'll have virtually no chance of snagging a home run.

The Budweiser bleachers that line left field in Wrigley Stadium are one of the best values in baseball, and the closer you get get to section 306 (near center field), the better.
