FanSided has released their annual rankings of the top 250 fan bases across sports, music, entertainment, and celebrities. The Boston Red Sox rise all the way to No. 3 overall on the heels of a World Series championship.
This is an impressive leap from last year’s No. 39 ranking, although that should come as no surprise following a franchise record 108-win season that resulted in a title. The Chicago Cubs finished in the top overall spot in 2016 after they won the World Series. The Houston Astros were a mediocre 118 last year but they weren’t even on the list the previous year.
