MLB Power Rankings: Every Fanbase Ranked by Arrogance

John RozumJun 1, 2018

Whether we like to admit it or not, we have all been arrogant at some point in our lives.

And for some of us, it mainly falls into the area of our favorite sports teams.

That being said, there are those who are more arrogant than others.

Well, MLB is no exception, because otherwise people wouldn't get all crazy and create mischievous acts.

It could be yelling obscenities, bragging, talking smack, actually fighting, and in some cases, running on the field.

In any event, there are those of us that take pride in being arrogant, and relish in the fact that we are.

As for others, they may not like being labeled as arrogant.

Nonetheless, everyone is, and it just depends on how much you really get into it.

So, here is a ranking of how arrogant each MLB fan base is.

We begin with the least arrogant, at No. 30.

30. Tampa Bay Rays

1 of 30

You actually have to have more than like 15 fans to be arrogant.

I mean, the Rays had to give away free tickets during a pennant race!

Now, had this ranking been "Which cities don't care", then they'd be No. 1.

29. Texas Rangers

2 of 30

Pretty much everyone from Texas has the nice and friendly demeanor.

And the Rangers' fans are no exception.

28. Seattle Mariners

3 of 30

Ah, the Great Northwest.

Had Ichiro Suzuki not been the main attraction, would they even bother with the Mariners?

It seems after the Supersonics left, that it's become more of a soccer city with the Sounders (even with the Seahawks still around).

27. Cincinnati Reds

4 of 30

There's really no reason for Reds fans to be arrogant, because right across the river are the friendly folks of Kentucky.

And, what better way to have a good time after the game than to take the ferry across the Ohio river, then go have a brew with some folks from Kentucky.

26. Minnesota Twins

5 of 30

Definitely some passionate baseball fans, but polite as well.

In addition, Minnesota gets so cold in the winter that they're probably just happy it's warm out.

And if the Twins have a good year, then it's a bonus!

25. Milwaukee Brewers

6 of 30

Very passionate and enthusiastic fans, but by no means arrogant.

For one, they even came to some Cleveland Indians games when the Brew Crew allowed the Tribe to use the Miller Park.

Cleveland had to use it because The Jake was snowed out in April a few years ago.

24. Toronto Blue Jays

7 of 30

They're Canadian! (that's a happy exclamation point) How could they be arrogant?

Now if we're talking hockey, it might be a different story.

23. Florida Marlins

8 of 30

Other than this guy, do people in Florida actually care about the Marlins?

I mean, there's the Dolphins, Heat, The U (University of Miami), and to the north you have the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles.

Not to mention the beaches, oh the beaches.

22. Arizona Diamondbacks

9 of 30

Much like the Arizona Cardinals fan base, the Diamondbacks are growing.

However, they're by no means arrogant.

Arizona is too beautiful of a state to be arrogant.

21. Houston Astros

10 of 30

I'm not sure you can be arrogant when you're busy chasing baseballs to put in your backpack.

Maybe ruin some little kids hope of getting a baseball, but I digress.

Plus, there's the Rangers, Spurs, Mavs', Cowboys, and all four Texas' schools (Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, TCU) to root for.

20. Baltimore Orioles

11 of 30

It appears to be disappointment more than anything for Orioles fans.

They're in MLBs most difficult division, and they just can't catch a break.

No reason to be arrogant towards others when you're own team has been struggling. 

19. Oakland Athletics

12 of 30

Is this suppose to be the hero from the superhero movie Kick Ass?

Or has Al Davis decided to take over the A's?

Thus, he's ashamed to show his face while at the Oakland Coliseum.

18. Pittsburgh Pirates

13 of 30

As long as you don't mention that you're not a Steelers fan, you should be in the clear at PNC Park.

For one, there's a guy who's a sweet saxophone player when walking across the bridge from downtown to get to the game, and he's there on the way back.

Additionally, they're games aren't filled since the Pirates have been struggling since, well, what's seemed like forever.

But, they are getting better (especially this year), so maybe the Park fills up in 2012.

17. San Diego Padres

14 of 30

The only thing that Padres need to be arrogant about is the fact that they live in San Diego, CA.

I would be too if I lived in perfect weather year round.

16. Kansas City Royals

15 of 30

To begin, Arrowhead Stadium can get extremely loud, even when the Chiefs weren't doing so great.

And, for the most part, that carries over to Kauffman Stadium.

Just don't mention anything about being a non-Chiefs fan, as they are even more jubilant about their beloved football team.

15. Detroit Tigers

16 of 30

Only the Detroit Tigers fans can say that their teams' manager is Albert Einstein.

Anyone claiming that for skipper Jim Leyland is a little arrogant, but in a fun way.

14. Atlanta Braves

17 of 30

If a pun like Freeman's Seamen doesn't come across as a bit arrogant, then there's something wrong.

Nonetheless, it's hilarious and arrogant in a good way.

13. Cleveland Indians

18 of 30

When the Tribe is rolling, they are not the Cleveland Indians.

They are, the BELIEVEland WINdians.

Clever, corny, and arrogant, all rolled into one.

12. Colorado Rockies

19 of 30

I'm hoping that's a purple wig, otherwise this guy is awesomely-arrogant.

Bonus points for the purple beard as well.

11. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

20 of 30

This guy looks like a red version of Space Ghost.

Ruining a great comic superhero.

Cartoon Network anyone?

10. San Francisco Giants

21 of 30

We know riots do sometimes happen when a city has a team win it a championship.

But, San Francisco didn't even do that when the 49ers won each of their five Super Bowls.

And, they even plotted to fly a banner over Dodgers Stadium. Hilarious.

9. Washington Nationals

22 of 30

They booed George W. Bush when he walked out for the first pitch.

Enough said.

8. Chicago White Sox

23 of 30

They're on the Southside, and they hate the fact that the Cubs get most, if not all, of the love.

At least The Windy City can agree on the Blackhawks, Bulls, and DA BEARS! (SNL Superfans anyone?)

7. Chicago Cubs

24 of 30

Two words... Steve Bartman.

I rest my case.

6. St. Louis Cardinals

25 of 30

No matter how good the Rams are, they'll take a backseat to the Cardinals for the better part of every year.

And, Albert Pujols always has that arrogant-esque face on him whenever he's at the plate.

Not saying it's a bad thing, but it appears to send a vibe throughout all of St. Louie.

5. New York Mets

26 of 30

Based on that sign alone, messing with a Mets fan doesn't appear to be a good idea.

Unless your a Yankees fan, who basically has majority of the city behind them.

4. Los Angeles Dodgers

27 of 30

They beat-down a guy who ended up in a coma.

What else do you need to know?

3. Philadelphia Phillies

28 of 30

Philadelphia fans act the same way about their beloved Eagles.

Boo Santa Clause, cheer when there's an injury to the opponent, you name it.

And, they can also brag about being a fan of the baseball team with the most losses.

2. Boston Red Sox

29 of 30

They're obviously debatable with the Yankees (spoiler alert), but there's no shame in being No. 2.

1. New York Yankees

30 of 30

Are you surprised?

Let the debating begin.
