00:18According to Forbes' annual list, San Francisco starts us out.
00:21As their name might suggest, the Giants have a giant estimated value of $2.65 billion.
00:27That's an impressive 18% increase from last year.
00:30It looks like Chi-town is also bringing in that baseball diamond doe.
00:34Rising 22% from last year, the Chicago Cubs reportedly have a Windy City worth of $2.68 billion.
00:41Moving over to the east in the great state of Massachusetts,
00:44the Red Sox put Boston on the map with a $2.7 billion estimated value.
00:50This brings the Beantown Ball Club up 17% from 2016.
00:54Values rise even higher over on the west coast.
00:57The number two spot goes to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
01:00This California team keeps dreaming as they climb 10% with a reported worth of $2.75 billion.
01:07But nobody seems to hit a home run in earnings quite like the Big Apple's Bronx Bombers.
01:13The New York Yankees topped the list for the 20th consecutive year with a whopping estimated value of $3.7 billion.
01:20They, however, saw the lowest surge with only a 9% increase from last year.
01:26No matter the difference a year can make, these franchises are a far cry from financially striking out.
