Pennsylvania is home to two MLB franchises, both of which have some very passionate fans.
However, fans of the Philadelphia Phillies are especially loyal, writes Christopher Boan for Penn Stakes.
A new ranking of fanbase loyalty among all 30 MLB teams features the Philadelphia Phillies listed third. The team trails only the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees on the rankings.
The rankings were based on average stadium attendance, number of Twitter/X followers, attendance at away games, and games won between 2022 and 2024.
In addition to its third-most loyal fanbase, Fanatics Sportsbook oddsmakers have the Phillies listed with the fifth-best odds to win this year’s World Series.
Meanwhile, its fellow Pennsylvania ballclub, the Pittsburgh Pirates, ranked 15th on the fan loyalty list.
