Best Baseball franchise
The current top 10 list is one that always tends to draw a lot of debate. We are reviewing the top 10 baseball franchises across the country. There are many factors that went into our decision. The main factors were history, players, ballpark type, average attendance, location/city, fan loyalty, and general management of the team.
So without further explanation here they are from the number 1 ranked team down:
1) Boston Red Sox
(key factors > excellent fan base, excellent management, historic stadium, excellent attendance, neighborhood location, dynamic players such as Daisuke DICE K Matsuzak and Big Papi)
2) St. Louis Cardinals
(key factors > excellent fan base, solid management, excellent attendance)
3) New York Yankees
(key factors > passionate fan base, excellent attendance, historic stadium, largest baseball market)
4) Atlanta Braves
(key factors > dynamic fan base, year after year championships, loyal management)
5) Cincinnati Reds
(key factors > excellent fan base, oldest team in baseball, passion for baseball in general across the city)
6) Detroit Tigers
(key factors > great history, nice new stadium, good fan base, dynamic young teams)
7) Chicago Cubs
(key factors > extremely loyal fan base, historic stadium, excellent attendance, neighborhood location, overall great summer city to see baseball)
Minnesota Twins
(key factors > loyal fan base, excellent management, your dynamic players, history of success in a small market)
9) San Diego Padres
(key factors > loyal fan base, nice new stadium, great baseball weather)
10) Seattle Mariners
(key factors > great stadium location next to downtown, loyal fans, solid management)
I’m sure there are many people that would debate this top 10, but over the course of baseball history these are the choices we made. There is always room for teams to move up though if they make a few changes. Only time will tell.

How can Minnesota possibly be in the list. Plus how are the Yankees not ranked significantly higher. The best place next to Boston to see a game in all of baseball is Yankee stadium. Seattle? Where did that come from?

How is it the Chicago Cubs are not ranked higher, like number 1 !!!!. It has to be obvious, even to a novice baseball fan, that their fans rank number one as far as loyalty and dedication. Come on, what other team (in all of sports) have made generations of fans suffer with embarrassment like the Cubs?? Year after year Wrigley Field is packed with enthusiastic, faithful fans watching their beloved Cubs blow yet another season. Fans going crazy with excitement when the team actually makes the post season, just to see their dreams, once again, go up in smoke with more unrealistic,crazy circumstances that send them home early, just shy of playing in their first World Series since 1945, or actually winning one in almost a CENTURY!!! Combine that with one of the most recognizable, beautiful stadium in sports…………..how can they not top the list. Give the fans something to be proud of!!!

Come to a game at Comerica Park in Detroit. It will be a baseball experience that you will never forget. Not to mention the GINORMOUS list of prospects we have waiting to come up to the big leagues. Next 10 years will be Tigers domination.
