They may not be kind, and they may not be PG, but they are loyal. The Yankees have fans who would do just about anything for their team. Even if that means throwing stuff onto a field because their steroid using All-Star slapped a ball out of the hand of a pitcher.

The Yankees have had the best stadium attendance in the major leagues since 2010, drawing in over 365 million fans (to note: they have the third largest stadium in the MLB).

Their fans are notorious for being the toughest in the MLB, and during playoff time, they do create great home-field advantage.

Also, let’s not forget about the bleacher creatures.  Their right field fans do a Roll-Call before every game. They shout the names or nicknames of every Yankee player, not giving up until the player acknowledges them. Not to mention, it’s lead by a guy named Bald Vinny. He’s no Fireman Ed, but it’s still a pretty cool job to hold down.

The Yankees also spoil their fans, giving them luxury seating, a brand new ballpark, and 27 World Series rings.

The Yankees also run the most popular Facebook page amongst all MLB teams. They have over 8 million fans…the MLB Facebook page has less than 7 million fans.
