Title: WHO IS YOUR TEAM, please vote
WMCHRIS - April 27, 2012 07:07 PM (GMT)
Am intrigued to see who everyone follows and what the split is between teams on here.
There's only an option to vote up to 15 different teams so I've put up what I see as the most popular on here from reading the threads. If you follow a different team please write it in the thread
Cheers.

With all the pessimism around the club particularly per season, I think well finish .500 or more and I for one will be happy with that

Rays +1
Surprised to see though that we have 2 votes, if there is another Rays fan here then he or she is very shy as I haven't seen any evidence yet.

Los Dodgers
I have a feeling Los Mets may take the title of most popular team here.

Where's the BIG RED MACHINE
Reds.com for all your baseball needs.
Rabscallion - May 3, 2012 06:44 PM (GMT)
There's quite a spread of teams isn't there, especially if you take into account the other ones we know about that are not on the list.

Been looking for a team and as I seem to be switching over to the A's when watching another game and generally looking for their scores first I'll bite the bullet and declare my support for the A's

I voted Yankee, it's on fourth place..... :(
WMCHRIS - July 16, 2012 08:47 PM (GMT)
Interesting results from the vote. Very small sample I know but I wonder how indicative it is of the spread of teams followed by guys in the UK.
The mets have the most votes but I'm sure thats not a good indicator, im sure that the Yankees or red sox would have the most followers in the uk?
Seen a woman in the pub the other night in a red sox tee shirt, and a guy at the 'tip' the other day in a sf giants ws winners hat from 2010. Never know whether people are baseball fans though or whether they just picked something up on a visit or as a gift, if I went speaking to them and it was the latter I'd come across as a right tool!!

Thats always the worry, I saw a guy shopping at work the other day in a Dodgers T-shirt with Kershaw on the back but didn't want to say anything in case he just liked the T-shirt on a trip or was bought for him, as it had a number and name and stuff its more likely he was a real fan of the game but didn't want to look an idiot as you say.
More then likely when you see someone in a Yankees cap its just a fashion statement but when its a smaller team or someone wearing a T-shirt or jersey its more then likely the are real fans.
I did get talking to a Dolphins fan who came shopping in our store, he used to wear a T-shirt, Cap, Trainers, Shorts all with Dolphins so I assumed he was a fan, We used to chat whenever he came in for about 2 years before he moved to Miami 2 years ago.

Think you were on safe ground there mate :D
Rook - August 10, 2012 04:57 PM (GMT)
Lots of teens and tweens are wearing Baseball caps now. 59FIFTY style, prisitine, with the labels kept on. I doubt they follow the game or have any strong team affiliation.
I saw a guy in a worn out Phillies t-shirt at the Olympic screens in Hyde Park, he told me he didn't know anything about baseball, he'd borrowed the t-shirt from a friend. :lol:
ToffeeYankee - August 10, 2012 08:39 PM (GMT)
The Braves are taking over! I've seen loads of people in Braves caps recently.

I'm suprised by the lack of Phillies, is there really only one supporter here?? :huh:
Barney1975 - August 12, 2012 04:21 PM (GMT)
I don't think it's much of a secret I've been a Expos/Nationals fan since '96.
Would vote but don't see us there! ;)

Where did all the Cubs fans go? I'm sure we used to have loads hanging around, and we only get 2 (including me) on the poll?
Guess a season with 100 losses isn't too appealing for most folks ;) :lol: :(
