Forbes compiled a list of the most loyal fans in baseball based on attendance and winning percentage. The Sox came in second behind Ranger fans. I don’t know about that, but at least they got one thing right and put Yankee fans among the least loyal with:
“New Yorkers aren’t used to losing, and they don’t like it. This isn’t to say Yankees fans are rowdy and passionate, but if the club loses, as it did in the early ’90s, attendance drops. Back in 1991, it cost less to go to a Yankees game than to a game for the now-defunct Montreal Expos, and even so, only 23,009 people came to each Yankee home game. When they were winning in the early 2000s, attendance doubled.”
