FanSided’s Fandom 250 reveals that the Boston Red Sox remain one of the most popular MLB teams in the world.
The Fandom 250 is divided into 16 categories: NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, Soccer, NCAA, Sports Figures, Celebrities, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Comics, Gaming, Brands, Internet Famous and Other. All 250 qualifying fandoms are ranked in their own categories and against the field.
The Red Sox landed at No. 39 on the list this year, falling from No. 29 in 2016. While the ranking may seem a bit disappointing for a Red Sox franchise with a passionate fanbase, it should be noted that only two MLB teams finished ahead of them – the New York Yankees (20) and Chicago Cubs (12).
