Rangers Have Most Loyal Fans in MLB

Posted on August 15th, 2008 9:13am by Tim Rogers

A fanatic FrontBurnervian points us to this article, wherein it is revealed that Rangers fans love their team more than any other fans in baseball. How’d they determine that?

Through the use of multiple regression analysis, we determined how quickly fans supported the team when they started winning and how quickly they dissipated once performance slumped. The faster that fans boosted attendance and the more hastily they abandoned poor performance indicated fans who were less loyal.

That’s how.

    Sounds like the formula rewards teams for being spectacularly average. *cough*

    Lord knows we’ve had 30 years of practice dealing with the when performance slumps aspect. Really we just go for them Ballpark dogs!

    I have always enjoyed watching passionate and powerful (albeit HGH supported in the 90s) Rangers offenses that get outdone by pitchers who just don’t have it. Ever.

    Odd, Rangers loyaty increases when the Yankees or Red Sox are in town.

    I have to agree with monkey god. (Now there’s a sentence I’ve never typed before.)
