I am just proud to say that both Orioles and Rangers fans are among the top ten most faithful!

Answer 1

i rely dont think that boston fans are loyal

we just witnessed how they werent loyal to to manny who won them world series  

Answer 2

i hate it

Answer 3

nope i do not even agree with this were are the cardinals in this were supposed to be in the top 3 i mean come on when u go to see a cardinals game ur in baseball heaven right there  

Answer 4

This article was good. I agree with most of the choices but seriously, Red sox number 2? Its really demeaning because most Red Sox fans today were not there in 2000.

And to those that disagree with the Philadelphia being the last one I live in Philadelphia, go to a game here. I have warned you.

Edit: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?... Read my answer on this question. Im sure that many of you would agree.

Answer 5

This list is BS.

The Red Sox are not second!  Most of these fans came after they won the World Series on 04.

And the Angels have many loyal fans, the stadium has been filled up for a while.

Answer 6

I'm a Red Sox fan, but I've gotta disagree with that at least a little bit...

I would agree that the Rangers & O's have very loyal fans. It's great that they're so committed to their team despite their continuous losing seasons. And Cubs fans are great. They love their team and even though they haven't seen their team win the WS in their lifetime...they're still as faithful as ever. I would also add St. Louis Cardinal fans to the "Most Loyal Fans" list.

now for my comments about the Red Sox...they DO have very loyal fans who have stuck around for years...but the number of those fans is just about equal to the number of bandwagon fans the Red Sox have acquired. I'm not even exaggerating. Take a trip to Fenway. Aboout 40-50% of all the people in Red Sox tshirts there are bandwagon fans. Sure, bandwagon fans have lots of team spirit...but dedication? Don't make me laugh. When the Red Sox have a losing season, see if they're still here. Bandwagon fans are good for merchandise & ticket sales. That's about it.

Answer 7

M O: you are obviously young. There have been dedicated Red Sox fans forever. Why else would Carlton Fisk waving his home run fair, Bucky **** Dent, or the Impossible Dream matter so much to 'The Nation'?

Very interesting article - Yankee fans are NOT going to be happy.

Overall..just more fodder for the rivalries and a chance for dedicated fans to pat themselves on the back.

Answer 8

Hmmm interesting article to say the least. I never would expect Ranger fans to be picked #1 not that I'm saying it's a bad thing mind you.

Answer 9

Orioles is my guess  

Answer 10

Cub fans are amazing and deserve a world series title, they should get there with the 5-man starting rotation they have this year. Zambrano's hitting amazing too! It's propbably nice knowing if he throws a ton of wild pitches in the playoffs, he can pull a Rick Ankiel and come back as an outfielder!

Answer 11

That is funny...they also did an article a couple months back that they held a poll on "who is your most liked team" the Angels came in dead last! hahahaha. Nobody likes those guys! The actual article said the Angels are the least liked team in the country, becasue the Blue Jays got dead last but they arent in USA! :) lol

Answer 12

That list is bs. The yankees haven't won a world series in 6 years, and they still average 50,000 plus fans a game. Give credit were credit is due!

Answer 13

Cubs fans are Atrocious they are so roudy. I was surprised Philly fans are in the bottom 5 they are usually pretty loyal...;)

Answer 14

How are the Red Sox second?  Was there even a Red Sox fan outside of Ben Affleck before they won the world series?
