The Hottest Cheerleaders In Baseball

Baseball is just around the corner. It's true. And what can get you in the mood for America's Pastime better than warm weather, beer, and brats? That's right - cheerleaders.

"But baseball doesn't have cheerleaders," you protest. False. Baseball has cheerleaders, at least those teams courageous and awesome enough to. Hopefully everyone else will come around soon enough.

Here are The Hottest Cheerleaders In Baseball.

No. 7: The Tampa Bay Rays Girls

Tampa Bay has got a lot of potential. Not just their team, but it's a warm weather city that should have plenty of hot chicks to cheer for them.

However, I haven't really seen a lot of evidence of cheerleaders in the past few years, so I'm putting them in seventh.

Rays Girls

Here are some of the Rays Girls before the game, soaking up the sun and looking fine in those jerseys.

Rays Girls

Did you recognize a certain girl in the first slide? Go back and check.

Yep, that was none other than famed Cowgirl Jenn Sterger. She flaunted those magnificent chest for the Rays for a little while, as well as the Jets, after college.

She's someone of a team whore, isn't she?

No. 6: The Philly Ball Girls

Philly!

The Philly Ball girls get the distinct honor of being the squad with the most recent World Series win. And you know what? They had a lot to do with it.

Ball Girls

I appreciate the uniformity with the team, but I'm so glad they opted for shorts instead of those pants.

Ball Girls

Even cooler about the Ball Girls? Not only do they cheer, but they play a little baseball on the side.

Athletic girls are hot, let's just face it.

Ball Girls

Here are some of the Ball Girls at a photo shoot for the team. It may just be me, but when the shirts are long enough, I think we can even go sans shorts here. What do you think?

Ball Girls

One cool thing about the Ball Girls is that they have their own trading cards. I've got a mint condition Bridgette. You're going to have to give me a Sharon AND a Jennifer for me to part with this hottie.

Ball Girls

Okay, I don't know if this chick is one of the Ball Girls, and it's likely she's not, but this is just too hot to leave out. Can they recruit her if she's not?

No. 5: The St. Louis Cardinals Fredbird Team

The Fredbird Team is next on our list. I think they're named after the mascot, but still, that's gotta be one of the stupidest names ever.

Fredbird Team

I know there are ten girls in this picture, but all I can really focus on are the legs of the two on the ground. Talk about eye catching.

Fredbird Team

If the Fredbird Team stook on the dugout for the whole game, I would not actually be watching the game.

Fredbird Team

I'm not sure why she has a whistle here. They don't really use whistles in baseball.

But hey, they don't use short shorts either, and I'm not complaining about that!

Fredbird Team

Why are these girls laughing? I think it was because somebody just made an Albert Poo-holes joke.

Fredbird Team

These girls want you to come to the game and fill up the empty seats behind them. Or to go out and get a beer.

I'm choosing to believe it's the latter.

No. 4: The Cincinnati Reds Crew

The Reds Crew, along with the Ball Girls, get bonus points for being the only other cheerleaders not from warm weather cities. They brave the cold so that get actually can get entertained by baseball. What troopers!

Reds Crew

Not a lot of action shots available for the Reds Crew, but we do have these super sexy profile shots. Somehow she makes that bat hot. I don't know how.

Reds Crew

I gotta say, the Red Crew's uniforms are doing it for me. It's distinctly baseball, but yet made sexier. Those Hooters shorts don't hurt, either.

Reds Crew

You know, I don't mind a little thickness in my women. This one is hot, but she still looks like she could knock one out of the park pretty easily.

Reds Crew

Is it just me, or does that bat bear a striking resemblance to a bed post?

Just me? Yeah, I thought so.

No. 3: The Atlanta Braves Squaws

Holy leg-crossing Batman! The Squaws (or Tomahawk Team, whichever is less offensive I guess) are the super hot cheerleaders for the Atlanta Braces.

The Squaws

Everyone knows that other than being hot, the number one requirement for a cheerleader is the ability to work a t-shirt cannon.

The Squaws

These girls definitely know how to work a crowd into a frenzy.

The Squaws

There's another t-shirt. I think I would be way more excited if they took the ones they were wearing and threw them into the crowd. Yeah, that would work.

The Squaws

She thinks she's number one, but on my list they're number three. Sorry sweetie. You're cute, though.

The Squaws

Now that's what I call a murderers row right there. Those girls would be a hell of a 3, 4, 5 lineup.

The Squaws

Oh my goodness, do these girls ever get excited about t-shirts. Okay, I admit it. They're starting to get me excited to.

...about the t-shirts. What did you think I meant?

The Squaws

What a lucky, lucky kid. He gets to see Chipper Jones play.

No. 2: The Arizona Diamondbacks Rally-Backs

I think we can all agree that the long "legs crossed" shot is a definite winner. And so are these Diamondbacks cheerleaders for having the best name in this bunch. The Rally-Backs are awesome as they are hot.

Rally-Backs

That's the classic seductive cheerleader pose. These girls know their stuff.

Rally-Backs

Wow, not only are they sexy, but these cheerleaders can apparently count all the way to three!

Rally-Backs

Um, yes, I'll take two of whatever she's selling.

Rally-Backs

So the black tank top and jean shorts aren't exactly the most creative outfit, but they certainly do the job. The job of course being to get me all hot and bothered.

Rally-Backs

Wow. Is that even a real woman? She almost looks too perfect.

Who would have thought that Arizona was a breeding ground for hotties?

Rally-Backs

That is one hell of a logo. Yep, very interested in that logo.

Rally-Backs

Put your hands together for this cheerleader. She's doing her damndest to get people to actually care about this team. It's no easy feat.

Rally-Backs

I like to think that this D-Backs cheerleader is actually flipping off some D-Bag in the crowd. I like 'em sassy.

No. 1: The Florida Marlins Mermaids

And No. 1, to nobody's surprise, is the original baseball cheerleaders, the ones that have perfected it: The Florida Marlins Mermaids.

Bow down to greatness.

The Mermaids

The Marlins have seasons where the team is terrible, it's true. But when you have nice weather and women like this, how could you not want to come out to a game?

The Mermaids

There we go. You can't truly call yourselves cheerleaders without pom-poms. The Mermaids are breaking out all the stops.

The Mermaids

Favorite.

All MLB owners should be required to look at this picture before deciding whether or not they should have cheerleaders.

The Mermaids

Those are some very nicely cut t-shirts these girls have going on here. And those shorts show off some pretty shapely legs in the background.

The Mermaids

Yep, this is an actual advertisement they Mermaids put out to recruit members. Unfortunately, the only people who showed up mistakenly thought they were auditioning for a strip club.

What am I talking about? I mean "fortunately."

The Mermaids

Why should we have cheerleaders in baseball?

That's Y.

The Mermaids

Not only do these girls have fun on the field, but apparently they like to mix it up and be a little naughty behind the scenes. I full approve.

The Mermaids

Here's some more of the girls messing around. I admit, the "Oops! What did I do?" look does it for me.

The Mermaids

Low cut top, short shorts, high go-go boots. These Mermaids are just perfect enough to pull off such an incredible look.

The Mermaids

I'm not the only person who the Mermaids have impressed. Even FHM did a spread on one lovely lady in particular.

The Mermaids

There is no doubt in my mind that the Mermaids are the hottest cheerleaders in baseball.

Honestly, they're probably in the top 5-10 of the hottest cheerleaders in any sport.

I might be in love.
