The 9th Most Popular Baseball Team
The Buzz on Baseball
By Mike Krumboltz Wed, April 04, 2007, 2:43 am PDT Baseball season is back and searches on America's pastime are swinging for the fences. While players took the field, dedicated fans pushed searches on "MLB" up an impressive 64%. A look at the demographics shows the sport is popular all over, but it's particularly big in New England. Massachusetts ranks first in buzz, followed by Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. Other interesting opening day searches: "baseball salaries," "baseball tickets," "mlb stadiums," and "derek jeter pictures." Queries on "bud selig shirtless" remain scant. Of course, despite the individual stars and personalities, baseball is a team sport. Here are all 30 big league squads ranked in order of buzz. Read on, enjoy, and play ball! New York Yankees Chicago Cubs Detroit Tigers Atlanta Braves Los Angeles Dodgers Boston Red Sox Texas Rangers Houston Astros Cincinnati Reds Cleveland Indians Milwaukee Brewers New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals Seattle Mariners San Diego Padres Baltimore Orioles Chicago White Sox San Francisco Giants Kansas City Royals Colorado Rockies Arizona Diamondbacks Los Angeles Angels Florida Marlins Tampa Bay Devil Rays Toronto Blue Jays Oakland A's Minnesota Twins Washington Nationals

Re: The 9th Most Popular Baseball Team
Interesting. Not too many suprises, but I would have expected St Louis, NYM, and the Phillies to be a bit higher. Maybe at the expense of Mil, Pit, Cleveland, and Texas.

Re: The 9th Most Popular Baseball Team
I predict we'll go down once the gangbangers realize they can't get any predominantly black Reds apparel anymore.

Re: The 9th Most Popular Baseball Team
No way are the Reds a more popular team than the Mets. I would think the Josh Hamilton buzz has something to do with the searches being so high.

Re: The 9th Most Popular Baseball Team
The Nats are last in "buzz"? That can't be right.
I'm seeing all kinds of press about that team. None of it good, but it's buzz, nonetheless.
